If you're a Boy Meets World fan (of course you are), then you already know what a ladies man Will Friedle's character, Eric Matthews, was. And, if you recall, one of his love interests on the show was none other than Jennifer Love Hewitt, as Jennifer Love Fefferman in the episode "And Then There Was Shawn."

In the spooky episode, Eric, Corey, Topanga, Shawn and crew are being stalked by a killer — a tribute to iconic horror movies at the time like I Know What You Did Last Summer and Scream. And after Eric finds himself alone in John Adams High's hallway with Jennifer Love Hewitt's character, she claims she is not the killer. After learning this, Eric and Jennifer intensely make out against the school lockers.

Talking about the scene on "Pod Meets World," Friedle recalled, "I don't remember it going that far. I was like, 'Oh my God, nice to meet you. And then and also, then just like kiss and all that kind of stuff. It was seriously like, 'Wow, that's uncomfortable.'"

Will added, "It was super intense, and I've had people even say to me like, 'Oh, I didn't when I was a kid, I didn't realize you guys were together.' So it was just like, what the hell is going on? That is the most intense makeout we have on the seven years of the show is right there in the hallway. Then kissing her neck while she's trying to talk and all this like we haven't even said our names yet. It's intense."

Hewitt and Friedle did end up briefly dating in 1996 after meeting on the show.
