The actress told the outlet she realized that Matthew, who played Warner Huntington III in the movie, was crushing on his co-star during the film’s big climatic ending.

“I discovered that [Matthew had a crush on Selma] during the trial scene,” she explained. “We could see that heart beating every time he was around her. He was so nervous, and I thought, ‘How could someone looking like that be as nervous as he is?’ ”

Matthew admitted that he was grateful for all the advice Selma gave him during filming.

“I’ll adore her till the day I die,” he said. “I will always cherish her taking care of me and looking after me because I was so damn green.”

However, Jessica Cauffiel, who played another friend of Elle’s, said that she thinks Selma wasn’t the only person Matthew had a crush on.

“I think [Matthew] had a crush on everybody. At one point, he had a crush on Alanna,” she said.

Luke Wilson recently shared his thoughts on reprising his role as Emmett for the upcoming third Legally Blonde movie!
