Danielle Fishel Shocks Rider Strong as She Confesses She Had a Crush on Him
In a new episode of her podcast, the Topanga Lawrence-Matthews depicter admits to being attracted to her ‘Boy Meets World’ male co-star during their time on the teen sitcom.
AceShowbiz –Danielle Fishel had the hots for her “Boy Meets World” co-star Rider Strong. During her time on the teen sitcom, the 41-year-old actress was apparently attracted to Rider – who played the part of Shawn Hunter.
“I had a crush on Rider,” Danielle – who starred as Topanga Lawrence-Matthews – admitted during an appearance on the “Pod Meets World” podcast.
Danielle was joined on the podcast by Rider, 42, and he admitted to being shocked by her confession. He said, “What?! That’s not true, you’ve never told me that! You saved that for 30 years?!”
Danielle subsequently confessed that her crush started “maybe later in season one and definitely through season two.” The actress added, “He was so smart, and, you know what? One of my favourite things about Rider – and it still stands to this day – Rider is very effusive.”
“He will tell you how he feels. He is very free with his compliments, but he doesn’t throw them out willy-nilly. When Rider compliments you, it is thoughtful, it has meaning – it’s coming from a very real place.”
Danielle starred on the show between 1993 and 2000, and she still has fond memories of working with Rider. The actress also admitted that her co-star was one of the people she “loved.”
She shared, “I remember getting a very real compliment from Rider, like, ‘You my friend are doing incredible work.’ And I found a diary that I wrote for like three months of us being on ‘Boy Meets World’. And it was so embarrassing because I would end the diary [entries] with like ‘P.S. I love…’ And then there’s like four people I loved. And Rider was one of them!”
