Kat Dennings has starred in everything from Marvel movies and indie films to her own sitcoms, but an appearance in a music video over a decade ago stands as her "biggest accomplishment."
The Charlie Bartlett actress, 39, joined Danielle Fishel on the Wednesday (January 28) episode of her Teen Beat podcast where she explained why starring in Hanson's 2013 music video for their song "Get the Girl Back," alongside Twilight actress Nikki Reed, remains one of the best things to happen in her career, per People.
"To this day, it is probably my best, my biggest accomplishment in my career. And I'm not joking," she said. "This is called manifestation, folks."
Dennings has been a longtime fan of the "MMMBop" band, even pointing out that she had posters on her walls as a teenager and even a cutout of the band, so when she got the opportunity to appear in one of their music videos, she jumped at the chance. She explained that she had followed Hanson on Twitter and had been "quite vocal" in interviews about her love for the band so it word eventually got back to them.
"And I think Two Broke Girls was popular at that time, so they saw something about it. And I straight up got a DM. Yes. [From] Taylor Hanson, and he was like, 'Hey, you ever...?' I was like, Yeah. Mmhmm... I will do anything you want. I will clear the calendar," she said, calling the time of the shoot "one of the best days of my life."
The Thor actress continued, "It was so surreal, and I know that you know this, but when you're a teen, I'm just going to say girl, because I don't know what it's like to not be that — your obsessions are so important. My love for Hanson at that time was so important to me. They were a part of my daily existence in a really pure, precious, sweet way."
