Director Len Wiseman admits that it’s difficult to watch his wife Kate kiss another man and I’m sure Colin Farrell felt weird being in that situation but they are all professionals who know the difference between acting and reality. There are perks to working with your spouse especially when your job includes being away for long periods of time and there are difficulties as well.

Top athletes drive themselves to win and it takes an incredible amount of time, effort and natural talent to become an Olympian. Although we’ve seen Michael Phelps win more medals than any other Olympic athlete, he’s lost a few races along the way. What makes Phelps a champion is that after a loss, he stays focused on winning the next race.
