Sterling K. Brown, known for his role in "The Paradise," recently opened up about a surprising experience involving his wife, actress Ryan Michelle Bathe. The incident dates back to 2007 when Bathe shared the screen with Boris Kodjoe in the film "All About Us." During a candid conversation on Sherri Shepherd's show, Brown recounted his reaction to learning about a sex scene between Bathe and Kodjoe, who happens to be her celebrity crush.
Brown shared the story during Wednesday's episode of "Sherri," revealing his discomfort upon discovering the unexpected addition to the film's script. He recalled how his wife was cast as Kodjoe's on-screen wife within just two months, and a sex scene was subsequently incorporated into the movie. Brown humorously recounted his wife's excitement, saying she didn't hesitate when she found out Boris Kodjoe was her scene partner.

Despite his initial displeasure, Brown expressed admiration for Kodjoe's professionalism. He mentioned that his wife described Kodjoe as "so respectful, so cool" during their time filming together. This experience has left a lasting impression on Brown, influencing how he approaches his own acting roles today.
"So, because of that, any other scene that Brown does, I'm like, 'I'm going for it. Man, I'm going for it!'" – Sterling K. Brown
Brown and Bathe, who married in 2006 and share two children, later encountered Kodjoe and his wife, Nicole Ari Parker, at an Oscar night party hosted by Jay-Z and Beyoncé. During the event, Sherri Shepherd inquired if Kodjoe and Parker were aware of Bathe's fondness for Kodjoe.
Additionally, Brown teased potential future collaborations with Kodjoe and Parker. He mentioned that both he and Parker are actively seeking projects they can work on together.
