Cannon 'struggled' to film Mariah video

Nick Cannon has admitted that he found it difficult directing wife Mariah Carey's new video.

Cannon, who married the popstar on April 30 after a two month romance, has taken on the role of director in Carey's video for 'I Stay In Love Forever'.

He remarked that he had no idea how difficult it would be watching his wife pretend to make love to another man.

"We did it in, like, one take and I had to kick the dude out. It was one of those situations where I wasn't intimidated but I could've knocked him out at any point," he said.

"He was playing, like, a fictional character, but I could have done without it."

Cannon added that he found his wife "very easy to work with ... we had no beef at all".
