Since “his lips are meant for one woman,” Neal McDonough refuses to kiss any of his co-stars in films or television series.

 

Nevertheless, McDonough’s career has flourished in spite of the difficulties, and he has assumed a number of positions that are consistent with his principles.

He spoke candidly with Marc Cherry, the show’s creator, after being chosen to play Nicollette Sheridan’s character’s husband on Desperate Housewives. He said to Cherry, “I’m sure you know,

But I won’t kiss anybody.” Cherry accepted the challenge instead of resisting: “All right, I’m just going to have to write better,” and the two had a fruitful working partnership.

McDonough is as devoted to his wife outside of Hollywood. Since 2003, he has been wed to Robertson, a former South African bikini model.

They practically ran into one other on a London street on St. Patrick’s Day in 2001, which marked the beginning of their love journey.

“We literally bumped into each other on the street, locked eyes, and that was it,” McDonough said.”The next morning, I called the woman.
