Kat Dennings has landed some major roles throughout her career—but the one she’s most proud of actually has to do with her favorite ’90s band.
The WandaVision actress recently appeared on Danielle Fishel‘s Teen Beat podcast where she spoke out about her “biggest accomplishment” and how it related to her teen years when she was just an aspiring actress.
Looking back on her childhood bedroom, Dennings admitted that her room was plastered with photos of Hanson—and she even had a cardboard cutout of the brother band she’d gotten from a music store.
“I was Pinteresting before Pinterest. I was vision boarding my life, my ceiling. Isaac [Hanson]‘s on my ceiling,” she jokingly shared.
Dennings added that because she was such a big fan of the band, that’s why she considers her appearance in their 2013 music video for “Get the Girl Back” to be one of the highlights of her entire career.
“To this day, it is probably my best, my biggest accomplishment in my career. And I’m not joking. This is called manifestation, folks,” Dennings said.
As for how it all came together, Dennings says she has social media to thank.
“I think I had been quite vocal ever since I was doing interviews about how much I loved Hanson. So I had been vocal about how much I loved them many times. And I think Two Broke Girls was popular at that time, so they saw something about it,” Dennings explained.
She continued, “And I straight up got a DM. Yes. [From] Taylor Hanson, and he was like, ‘Hey, you ever…?’ I was like, ‘Yeah. Mmhmm … I will do anything you want. I will clear the calendar.'”
Dennings was featured in the video alongside Nikki Reed, another famous Hanson fan, and her then-husband Paul McDonald. Looking back, Dennings called the experience “one of the best days of [her] life.”
“It was so surreal, and I know that you know this, but when you’re a teen…your obsessions are so important. My love for Hanson at that time was so important to me. They were a part of my daily existence in a really pure, precious, sweet way,” Dennings said.
She concluded, “I don’t feel the obsession that I did as a young kid. But something opened up in that day, where I was fully able to close the circle and recognize how magical and crazy it was that this person got to be in a music video with them.”
