David Arquette fled the set of Dirt while directing wife Courteney Cox in a scene where she made out with a co-star.

The actress revealed on The Late Show With David Letterman that her husband found watching her lock lips with actor Danny Comden so tough that he kept shouting ‘Cut’ before the crucial moment.

Courteney was forced to tell her hubby: "David, my character actually makes out with people. That's just what my character does. She's very racy."

On the third take, the former Friends star says she "went in for the kiss...OK...I'm now going in for the kiss...now we're kissing...It's awkward...too long...uncomfortable. He's uncomfortable and I'm uncomfortable...too much kissing. And I hear in this high voice, 'Cut.'

Apparently David had left the set, leaving a female assistant to end the scene.
