Charisma Carpenter got starstruck when she finally met “crush” Dermot Mulroney.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
In a TikTok video with fans, she said: “So I don\u2019t really know why Dermot Mulroney is here, but it doesn\u2019t matter because it makes me so happy that he is.<\/p>\n
“I am literally probably his biggest fan… Probably since, I don\u2019t know, way before I was ever married.<\/p>\n
“So I\u2019m talking like [1997,] My Best Friend\u2019s Wedding. I just love him in that movie. He\u2019s just a good guy.\u201d<\/p>\n
She recalled his “talented” turn in Shameless, and insisted he is “so crushable at the same time”.<\/p>\n
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”.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
She said: “He was just so sweet and kind.”<\/p>\n
Although Dermot said they should “manifest” working together in the future, Charisma joked that she had other ideas.<\/p>\n
She quipped: “I was like, no no, Dermot, you need to manifest being my husband.<\/p>\n
“[I didn’t actually] say that. But that’s what I was thinking.”<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Dermot – who was previously married to Catherine Keener, with whom he has son Clyde – tied the knot with Prima Apollinaare in 2008.<\/p>\n
However, he filed for divorce from his wife – with whom he has kids Mabel, 17, and Sally, 15 – in June, citing “irreconcilable differences”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
