Kathryn Hahn Revealed Her Childhood Crush on Rob Lowe During A Mini Parks & Recreation Reunion

Kathryn Hahn revealed she had a major childhood crush on Rob Lowe during his guest hosting gig on The Ellen DeGeneres Show this week.

The WandaVision actress appeared on the show in a mini Parks and Recreation reunion with Rob and Adam Scott.

Kathryn played Jennifer Barkley on the NBC show, who had a one night stand with Rob‘s character, Chris Traeger.

“I could not believe that we got to have an onscreen romance!” she said on the show. “I had to forget everything of my childhood so I could be present, because otherwise I would’ve exploded.”

Kathryn joked, “I turned into an animal — I was like, ‘Just do the job.’ If my 13-year-old self had known that this was in my future, I could not have worked.”

Rob added, “How great is it when you get to tell your husband … I tell my wife, ‘I got a tough day at work today. I’m gonna go make out with Kathryn Hahn for, like, eight hours.’”

“It’s crazy! I couldn’t even compute,” she shared. “I was like, ‘Just. Doing. My job.’ If I was like, ‘It’s Rob Lowe,’ I couldn’t have even handled it.”
