The candid conversation came about after Ross revealed that when Harry Potter's Daniel Radcliffe was asked who his top three celebrity crushes are. Despite the fact that he's been in a relationship for ten years with actress Erin Darke, he did admit that Cameron Diaz, Juno Temple, and none other than Drew herself were on the top of his list.

The star quickly responded with: "That is crazy, it seems like he has a type!" She admitted that she did Google the couple, and thought they were very lovely.

The two went on to reveal who their celebrity and first crushes were, and while the actress' co-host had fairly common answers, such as Andrew Garfield, Mario Lopez and his first crush being Aladdin, hers was a little more unusual.
