'Well first of all, I saw the photo and the 14-year-old in me was like, "Ahhh." But you know, it's a funny photo and he's trying to be funny. So it worked on all levels,' she explained.
The Hitch actress revealed that she was so taken by her longtime beau's transformation into the beloved Mattel doll that she asked if she could keep a piece of his costume.
'When I saw it, he sent it to me from work and I said, "Can I please have that underwear? Please. I never ask for anything."'
