Melissa Joan Hart reveals she and Ryan Reynolds had ‘a little thing’

• Melissa Joan Hart claims that in the 1990s, she and Ryan Reynolds “had a little thing.”
• Melissa claimed the two developed feelings for one another while they were 19.
• Their chemistry fizzled out because she was dating someone else at the time.

During the 1996 filming of “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” in which she played the title character from her enduring television series of the same name and Ryan played Seth, the actors caught one other’s gaze.

Appearing on the ‘Hey Dude … The 90s Called!’ podcast, she said: “I worked with Ryan Reynolds on the ‘Sabrina’ movie. The first movie we did, Ryan was in it.”

The 46-year-old actress has already acknowledged she wishes she had “taken a chance” on the Canadian star, so Melissa is not the first to bring up the apparent chemistry between the two.

Speaking in 2017, Melissa claimed the two developed feelings for one another while they were 19 and working together on the film, but their chemistry fizzled out because she was dating someone else at the time.

She said: “We were smitten and cute. He was adorable. He was a really nice guy.

“He wasn’t like, the Ryan Reynolds everybody knows these days. You can see in the clip the crazy hair. He was sweet – he was very sweet.

“I had a boyfriend at the time. [He] probably would have been a great boyfriend. And I didn’t end up with the other guy, so maybe I should have taken a chance!”

And speaking previously about their attraction, Melissa admitted they shared a kiss but she ultimately chose her then-boyfriend over the ‘Deadpool’ hunk, who is now married to Blake Lively.

She said: “I chased him down, got in front of his car and just kissed him and then made out with him all night. Then I had to call my boyfriend the next day and explain it.

“He came to New York to visit me. But I think he wanted something more but I decided I was going to stick with my boyfriend.”
