A Walk to Remember's Shane West is spilling some major secrets about the film that will make you want to watch it all over again.

In a new interview with Vulture, Shane opened up about his relationship with Mandy Moore during filming and there were definitely some sparks flying between the two of them.

"There was chemistry. I think we [Mandy and I] both had a little bit of a crush, but then we were just there for each other in the most honest and purest of ways. That sounds incredibly corny but is true and rare," he said.

Shane also talked about filming the special butterfly tattoo scene, describing how his co-star made it easier to film even though he kept messing up.

"It was fun to do. It’s hard to not smile when you’re looking at Mandy’s cute, adorable face — to react to that. And it made it easy. I couldn’t get that tattoo right. I was screwing it up constantly. There should be outtakes. I don’t think there are — where I peel it off and it’s like a third of a butterfly, or half a butterfly, or it didn’t work at all. Then she starts laughing and then it’s all worthless. So I think the combination of us joking around made the ultimate reveal more of a success," he said.

And yes, they still seem to be friends, as Shane mentioned that he talked with the This is Us star just last year. Hopefully, this means that we'll get a big reunion for the film's upcoming 20th anniversary.
