Appearing on Chelsea Lately. an American late-night comedy talk show created by Steven Brody Stevens and hosted by comedian Chelsea Handler, Emma Roberts revealed that romantic sparks started flying almost immediately.

“On set, I was like ‘Oh yeah, we’re totally going to date,’ and I would try to flirt with him, which ended up looking like I had something in my eye,” Roberts told Chelsea Handler in February 2014. “He literally didn’t speak to me the entire movie, like thought I was so weird.”

“I had no makeup, it looks like I cut my own hair off, so I was not exactly looking cute,” she added about her appearance on the set of Adult World, a 2013 American comedy-drama film directed by Scott Coffey and written by Andy Cochran.

In an interview with Vulture, Evan Peters revealed that he had a crush on her as well.

“Well, I had a crush on her, too, and I didn’t really know how to approach her or talk to her or any of that stuff. And at the time I was a more introverted actor, trying to kind of stay into it and stay focused and not talk too much. But, yeah, I tried to talk to her a few times and, I don’t know, I kept saying the wrong thing. I was really kind of awkward and stupid and like, Oh God, this is just not working out well. I’m just going to shut up and not talk.”

“I would just try to make jokes, you know? But they weren’t going over very well. You know how when you like somebody and then you say things, kind of like a fifth grader? You like the person so you kind of tease them a little bit or you joke around a little bit? Emma didn’t get that I was joking so it just kind of came off all wrong.”
