In a surprising revelation, actress Morena Baccarin, known for her roles in 'Homeland' and 'Deadpool', admitted she wasn't a fan of her husband Ben McKenzie's iconic character Ryan Atwood from 'The O.C.' But here's the twist: despite never watching the show, she fell for the man behind the role.
Baccarin, who attended the premiere of her upcoming film 'The Wrecking Crew', confessed to Page Six that she hadn't seen 'The O.C.' when it first aired. Yet, she acknowledged the show's recent resurgence in popularity.
The couple's love story began on the set of 'Gotham' in 2014, where they met and eventually fell in love. This led to the birth of their daughter Frances in 2016 and their marriage in 2017. Their family expanded further with the arrival of their son Arthur in 2021. Baccarin also has a son, Julius, from a previous marriage.
And this is where it gets interesting: Baccarin's connection with McKenzie wasn't based on his heartthrob status as Ryan Atwood. Instead, she was drawn to the man himself, proving that sometimes love transcends the fame and glamour of Hollywood.
In 'The Wrecking Crew,' Baccarin stars alongside action icons Dave Bautista and Jason Momoa. She raved about the experience, highlighting the fun and camaraderie on set despite the intense action sequences. And who wouldn't enjoy working with such talented and kind individuals?
But here's where it gets controversial: Is it common for actors to fall in love with their co-stars, or is there something special about meeting on set that sparks romance? Do you think it's easier to connect with someone when you share the same profession and understand the unique challenges of the industry? Share your thoughts in the comments!
