Melissa Joan Hartis looking back on her teen fling withRyan Reynolds.
Hart, 46, reminisced about her years as a Nickelodeon star during a recent appearance onHey Dude… The 90s Called!
While speaking to hostsDavid LascherandChristine Taylor, Hart confessed that she didn’t realize her popular sitcom,Clarissa Explains It All,was as big of a hit as it was.
“I dated Corky and kind ofhad a little thing with Ryan,” Hart revealed.
“I met Corky… in Utah or something at a Nick Takes Over Your School [event] and we started phone dating from Vancouver to Orlando,” she continued, before referencing Reynolds' role in another one of her popular projects. “And then I worked on Ryan Reynolds on the firstSabrina [the Teenage Witch]movie. The first movie we did, Ryan was in it.”

In 2017, Hart revealedshe had regretsabout not getting more serious with Reynolds back then.
“We were smitten and cute. He was adorable. He was a really nice guy,” Hart told Australia’sStudio 10talk show at the time.
Filming the Archie comics adaptation at just 19 years old, Hart remembered a different Reynolds than the oneDeadpoolfans admire now.
“He wasn’t like, the Ryan Reynolds everybody knows these days,” she said after a clip of the film played. “You can see, in the clip, the crazy hair. He was sweet — he was very sweet.”

However, as Hart previously wrote in her 2013 bookMelissa Explains It All: Tales from My Abnormally Normal Life,the two weren’t meant to be.
“I had a boyfriend at the time,” she said. “[He] probably would have been a great boyfriend. And I didn’t end up with the other guy, so maybe I should have taken a chance!”
In a 2014 appearance onE!‘sBeyond Candid with Giuliana, Hart toldGiuliana Rancicabout the steamy kiss(es) the two of them shared on the last day of shooting.
“I chased him down, got in front of his car and just kissed him and then made out with him all night,” she said, adding that the then-19-year-old Reynolds had given her a Bulova watch as a present earlier that day. “Then I had to call my boyfriend the next day and explain it.”
So why didn’t it work out? “He came to New York to visit me. But I think he wanted something more but I decided I was going to stick with my boyfriend,” Hart shared.
