Charisma Carpenter got starstruck when she finally met “crush” Dermot Mulroney.
The 55-year-old former Buffy The Vampire Slayer star – who played Cordelia Chase in Buffy and its Angel spinoff between 1997 and 2004 – finally got to meet her dream man over the weekend when the 61-year-old actor was also a guest at GalaxyCon Nightmare Weekend in Ohio.
In a TikTok video with fans, she said: “So I don’t really know why Dermot Mulroney is here, but it doesn’t matter because it makes me so happy that he is.
“I am literally probably his biggest fan… Probably since, I don’t know, way before I was ever married.
“So I’m talking like [1997,] My Best Friend’s Wedding. I just love him in that movie. He’s just a good guy.”
She recalled his “talented” turn in Shameless, and insisted he is “so crushable at the same time”.
Her handler at the horror convention encouraged her to approach the Scream 6 star, and she “got some comfortable” she “ended up crashing his photo op”.
She got a picture with the actor, and revealed she once auditioned to appear opposite him in Chicago Fire, but missed out on the role.
She said: “He was just so sweet and kind.”
Although Dermot said they should “manifest” working together in the future, Charisma joked that she had other ideas.
She quipped: “I was like, no no, Dermot, you need to manifest being my husband.
“[I didn’t actually] say that. But that’s what I was thinking.”
Charisma got married to Damian Hardy in 2002 and welcomed son Donovan into the world in 2003, but she and her husband got divorced five years later.
Dermot – who was previously married to Catherine Keener, with whom he has son Clyde – tied the knot with Prima Apollinaare in 2008.
However, he filed for divorce from his wife – with whom he has kids Mabel, 17, and Sally, 15 – in June, citing “irreconcilable differences”.
