Beyond all the cool action scenes and scary creatures, one of the best things about Buffy the vampire slayer It was all romantic melodrama with our favorite characters. In its own way, BuffyThe naughtiest couple was Xander and Willow, childhood best friends who only realized their feelings for each other after they both started dating other people. This led to a complicated affair that appears to spill over into the real world: according to Willow actress Alyson Hannigan, she and Xander actor Nicholas Brendon were once together.
Xander and Willow really connect
The revelation that she is naughty Buffy The couple connected in real life came about when Hannigan appeared on the Bravo television show. See what happens live. During that program, host Andy Cohen gave the actor a very provocative order: “tell us a story. Buffy connection on set that we didn’t know yet.” In response, she gave an equally provocative response: “I think Nick (Brendon) and I might have kissed once, like off-camera.”
For Buffy For fans who cheered for Willow and Xander as the show’s naughtiest (and nicest) couple, this tea is understandably surprising. After all, the show made it clear that their characters weren’t meant to be together…not only was Willow later revealed to be a lesbian, but Xander met the love of his life (and almost his wife…damn sea, season 6) Anya. in that same season. So, there aren’t as many fans who wanted these respective actors to hook up as, say, fans who wanted to see Sara Michelle Gellar and her brooding on-screen boyfriend, David Boreanaz, connect in real life.
However, few Buffy Fans may deny that Hannigan and Brendon’s characters made a cute couple during their mischievous little adventure. Part of that came from the show’s smart writing, of course, but part of that came from the actors’ killer chemistry. It seems the chemistry led to a kiss and maybe something a little more: In the interview with Cohen, Hannigan followed up the explosive admission of kissing Brendon in real life by gleefully declaring, “I might have had a boob or something.” So”.
In the tangled world of Buffy gossip, knowing that the show’s most unlikely on-screen couple had a brief connection off-screen is relatively healthy. Gossip is sometimes a little more unpleasant. For example, during See what happens livetold Cohen that her co-star and titular heroine Sarah Michelle Gellar began to hate the show during season 3. She emphasized that this was because Gellar was balancing these acting duties with a burgeoning big-screen career and the pressures of film. fame, but his words led to years of rumors that Hannigan and Gellar had a nasty, ongoing feud.
talking about Buffy couples, while Alyson Hannigan and Nicholas Brendon only hooked up once, the how I Met Your Mother The actress ended up getting pretty serious with another actor from her days as a vampire hunter. Hannigan eventually married Alexis Denisof, who guest starred on Buffy as Wesley Wyndam-Pryce before becoming a regular on the spin-off show. Angel. From playing with her on-screen partner to marrying a prim and proper Watcher, it seems Hannigan emulates Willow in one major way: She’s rarely naughty.
