Allan Russell, husband of actress Jana Kramer, has laid down the law concerning his wife doing sex scenes while the two are married and it’s an absolute no go. Finally, a dude being a real man and husband who is putting his relationship with his wife above career and money in the entertainment industry. Russell is a rare kind of man in Hollywood.
Russell sat down with his wife on her “Whine Down” podcast where the two chatted about a recent episode of the hit television series, “Yellowstone” that they watched together. On one of the last episodes of the modern-day Western series, Wes Bentley and Dawn Olivieri had a very steamy sex scene together, which is what prompted the talk between Kramer and Russell, according to Fox News.
“There’s not part of me that will ever, ever, ever allow that, ever, for a man to be that close to you like that,” Russell, a Scottish former professional soccer player, told his wife during the podcast. “Never.”
Kramer responded by asking him, “What if Taylor Sheridan has me audition and I book a role where I have to have that scene?”
“Then I will go Tommy Lee on everyone,” Russell answered. “I will be phoning the producers and threatening the producers, ‘You need to change that scene. Well, this is for the good of your health, you need to change this scene.’”
I’m pretty sure that’s how any normal man would react. The fact he has the steel spine to articulate that fact and to stand up for the preservation of his relationship with his wife is the kind of masculine example wimpy beta males need today.
Kramer pressed her husband further, and attempted to clarify if he would expect her to turn down any role that came her way if a sex scene was required.
“No. I wouldn’t let you do that scene. No. That’s not good for a marriage, that type of role. It’s not. Especially [as] a man who’s not in the acting world, it’s difficult, therefore that’s my opinion based on, I’m not in that world,” he explained.

“You can keep smiling and laughing if you want. But let’s flip it. Let’s flip it because we always do that,” Russell continued.
Russell tried to give Kramer a different point of view and asked her how she would feel if he filmed an intimate scene. The “One Tree Hill” actress made it clear that she would be OK with it.
“I’ve dated actors before that have had to do sex scenes,” Kramer said. “It’s literally the most uncomfortable thing ever. Like when I’m giving Turtle a hand job on ‘Entourage,’it’s so uncomfortable. I’m literally taking my hand and rubbing his leg. The motion of it — it’s the most uncomfortable — it’s not sexy.”
Kramer went on to list past moments when she filmed intimate scenes with co-stars — including with Stephen Colletti in “One Tree Hill” and with Austin Nichols in “Gaslit By My Husband.”
“I don’t care. I don’t care. If you’re locking eyes with another man and you’re f—ing naked…” Russell started to say. “You’re never fully naked though,” Kramer interjected, going on to add, “You can see everything. I was in my lingerie for the ‘Gaslit’ one.”
“You don’t need to remind me,” Russell fired off. “Stop bringing these things up.”
The fact Kramer is attempting to justify these kind of scenes as if she wants to do them should probably be a red flag for Russell. I highly doubt she’s going to ultimately respect his wishes when it comes to not doing sex scenes. Which is gross and super disrespectful.
Here’s to hoping that I’m dead wrong on that one.
