Actor
Dax Shepard revealed that he was once smitten with
Anna Faris and wanted to ask her out.
The 43-year-old actor, who is married to actor
Kristen Bell, admitted that before he met his actor wife, he had a crush on the 'Mom' star.
"I saw 'Just Friends' and was like, 'You are so talented' and you and I sat next to each other during a premiere... (I thought) 'I would definitely like to take this person on a date.' Then from my point of view, that door was shut. It was like a dead-bolt door," Shepard said.
The 'Scary Movie' actor, 41, was married to her first husband
Ben Indra
at the time. She separated from actor
Chris Pratt - with whom she has five-year-old son, Jack - in August last year. Faris admitted that seeing Indra at the film premiere might have discouraged Shepard from pursuing her.
"I think my first husband may have been sitting to the right of me," the actor said.
