The Ride actress explained that the two were filming on the same studio lot -- he was playing dreamy Dr. Noah Drake on General Hospital and she was shooting the short-lived sitcom It Takes Two.
Hunt eventually tried to make the first move, but it didn't quite turn out as planned.
"I left a note on his car," she admitted. "I left it on his windshield and somehow, he managed to not call me."
Cohen quickly agreed that the teenage music icon was pretty hot, adding that his "hair was amazing."
"I was so in love with him, you don't even understand," Hunt gushed.
