I was delighted. My friends were like, why aren't you dating her? I'm like, she's larger than life
0:04
She's like, she's this English girl. She does all these things. And I just couldn't keep up with her
0:10
But I certainly love locking lips. You were my girlfriend. I think wife. I think we got married
0:15
on the show. Once upon a time when our Kelly was mixing in Hollywood circles, starring in award
0:22
winning primetime American television, she made some incredible connections. Oh, I did indeed
0:27
So I made a few calls and I pulled some strings and I managed to hook us up with a proper Superman legend
0:35
So right now, live via satellite from Hollywood, the man who was voted one of the nastiest TV villains of all time
0:42
It's only Smallville's original Lex Luthor, Michael Rosenbaum. What so much energy, so much vivacity
0:52
I don't know. Look at this. This is, I knew you when, Kelly
0:59
24 years ago. No. Can you believe that? You were my girlfriend and I think wife
1:06
I think we got married on the show. No, actually, I ran off with your dad
1:11
Oh, that's right. You were so kind to me during those Smallville weeks that I spent in Vancouver
1:17
I was so nervous. I came into the mix and you guys were so great
1:21
And I remember you just having this insane amount of dialogue to learn
1:25
as Lex Luthor. Do you remember all those pages you had to learn
1:29
Yes, I do remember. I was just as nervous as you were. Every day was like
1:33
I just wanted to be great. I wanted to make it happen
1:38
to be Lex. And so I was stressed too We had to rehearse a lot We had a lot of kissing scenes in Smallville How did that go Well I quite enjoyed it But I remember
1:50
I did too. I think you had a... I don't know if you had a boyfriend or not
1:57
I can't remember. No, you did. I had a boyfriend and I said, we can only practice and kiss each other off camera
2:03
if you call me Victoria. Because that way I'm in character. So I'm not technically cheating
2:08
So we did have a couple of off-camera snogs, but in the name of rehearsals, obviously
2:13
Of course, yeah. I was delighted. My friends are like, why aren't you dating her? I'm like, she's larger than life
2:18
She's like, she's this English girl. She's like, she's like, she parties
2:23
She does all these things. And I just couldn't keep up with her
2:27
