Morena Baccarin might be married to “The O.C.” star Ben McKenzie — but she was no “Ryan Atwood groupie.”
“I wasn’t, I wasn’t a huge fan,” she sheepishly admitted to Page Six at the New York City premiere of “The Wrecking Crew” Thursday night.
After shockingly confessing to never having even seen the show, Baccarin said she connected with McKenzie because of who he was, rather than his role as hunky Ryan Atwood.
Despite not watching the show when it first came out, she acknowledged that the series is “having a fun resurgence.
“I think it’s awesome,” she gushed.
McKenzie, 47, and Baccarin, 46, actually met on the set of “Gotham” in 2014.
The two went on to welcome their daughter, Frances, in 2016 and tied the knot a year later.
The couple later welcomed their son, Arthur, in 2021.
Baccarin also shares a son, Julius, with ex-husband Austin Chick.
The “Homeland” alum will soon be featured in “The Wrecking Crew,”which stars Dave Bautista and Jason Momoa as estranged half-brothers who reunite to solve the mystery surrounding their father’s unexpected death.
Not surprisingly, the “Deadpool” star loved filming with the duo.
“It was great. We shot the car sequence, we were in a car together for five days … the joking and the camaraderie,” she gushed, noting that despite their mountainous physiques, both of them are “tender, big, kind guys.”
