Jerry O’Connell’s twin teenage daughters, Charlie and Dolly, were quite smitten with Abigail Spencer’s son, Roman — so he decided to help them out a little bit.
“Abigail, I had the honor, I’m going to call my daughters out here, my daughters met your son. They are the same age,” O’Connell, 50, shared on an episode of The Talk on Wednesday, October 9. “Your son is so handsome. … My girls when they got in the car after meeting your son were like, ‘Oh my goodness. How do you know Abigail? Why aren’t we hanging out all the time?’”
The Suits star, 43, who shares Roman, 16, with ex-husband Andrew Pruett, noted that her son has now “moved into full smolder.”
“He doesn’t know the effect that he has, particularly on your girls. He’s very sweet” she shared, noting that she and O’Connell have known each other for a long time and have a mutual friend.
Spencer then went on to share a story about both of their families being at a BBQ hosted by their friend, Maya Brenner.
“So we were over there and Jerry comes over to my son [and says], ‘Hey, how much can I pay you to go talk to my daughters?’” Spencer explains on the show before breaking out into laughter.
O’Connell, who shares Charlie and Dolly, both 16, with wife Rebecca Romjin, then tried to defend his actions.
“My children wanted to talk to your son, and they were standing on opposite ends of the party,” he clarified. “I went over to your son and I said, ‘Let’s make a deal, come on. How do I get you over there? How much is this going to cost me?’ I open it up. I think we settled on $20 and he went over.”
Spencer then jumped in saying, “I don’t think he took the money,” to which O’Connell replied, “No, he’s so polite. He tried to give it back to me.”
“He’s like, ‘These girls don’t need money to get me over there,’” Spencer joked before O’Connell noted that Spencer is a “great mom.”
This isn’t the first time that O’Connell has tried to embarrass his teenage daughters in front of boys.
In March, O’Connell shared that he offered to pick his daughter up from school and five boys ended up piling in the car.
“Fun ride. Daughter mortified,” he captioned a selfie via X and Instagram with Charlie and a backseat of boys. “I’m growing my hair out.”
