Charisma Carpenter Fangirls Over Dermot Mulroney, Details Flirty Exchange: ‘Manifest Being My Husband’

Charisma Carpenter has a huge crush on Dermot Mulroney — and she doesn’t care who knows it.

In a video shared via TikTok on Sunday, August 31, the Buffy the Vampire Slayer star, 55, confessed she is the actor’s “biggest fan.”

“Probably since, I don’t know, way before I was ever married. So I’m talking like My Best Friend’s Wedding,” Carpenter explained. “I just love him in that movie. He’s just a good guy.”

The pair were both attending the GalaxyCon Nightmare Weekend in Cleveland, Ohio, and Carpenter admitted she was surprised that Mulroney, 61, was in attendance.

“I really don’t know why Dermot Mulroney is here but it doesn’t matter because I am probably his biggest fan,” she said, later singing his praises as an actor. “It’s so hard because I think he’s so talented but I also think he’s so crushable at the same time.”

Carpenter was encouraged to tell Mulroney what a fan she is by her handler, who told her she should strike up a conversation with the Shameless star. As a result, the actress said she “ended up crashing his photo op and got a picture with him.”

She told Mulroney that she auditioned to play the role of his ex-wife on Chicago Fire, but didn’t get the part — and “later, [he] was like, ‘We’ll have to manifest working together.’”

“I’m like, no, no, you need to manifest being my husband,” she added. “But I didn’t say that. But that’s what I was thinking.”
