Anson Mount is revealing the way that his wife reacted to Joy Behar kissing him during his recent The Viewappearance.
The View co-host, 83, gave the Star Trek: Strange New Worlds actor, 53, a lengthy kiss on the lips during his Wednesday, July 22, visit to the ABC talk show, telling the audience that she was “old” but “not dead” after the unexpected moment.
Following Wednesday’s show, Mount revealed how his wife of eight years, Darah Trang, responded to the lip lock, joking to TV Insider, “I asked my wife to promise me that she wouldn’t divorce me.”
He then added on a more serious note that Trang “thought it was hilarious,” revealing that when he last appeared on The View more than a decade ago, he had brought Behar flowers, which apparently “made an impression.”
“So we’ll see what she does next time,” he teased.
Mount also discussed the kiss with Decider, telling the outlet that the smooch wasn’t discussed before it happened. “Yeah, that was surprising. If anything’s gonna take you off your game, reset your head, that was it,” he said. “I was present after that.”
“She’s so funny,” Mount went on. “That whole group of ladies was so hospitable. I was really just happy to be there.”
Behar, who has been married to husband Steve Janowitz since 2011, also shared her thoughts on the viral moment during the corresponding episode of Behind the Table with The View executive producer Brian Teta.
“All morning I’ve been hearing about Anson Mount, and I’ve been making jokes about his name,” Behar said, later explaining, “When he came out, I just felt like kissing him.”
Behar said that after Mount had kissed her on the cheek, she whispered “lips” into his ear before pulling him in for a real kiss. But while Mount’s wife might have laughed the moment off, Behar joked that her own husband had a different reaction, texting her during the show, to “cut that out.”
