Morena Baccarin says she wasn’t a fan of The O.C. despite marrying Ben McKenzie

Pagesix reports that at the New York City premiere of "The Wrecking Crew" Thursday night, Morena Baccarin said she was not a fan of The O.C. despite being married to the show's star Ben McKenzie.

She told the outlet, "I wasn't, I wasn't a huge fan," and confessed she had never even seen the show, saying she connected with McKenzie for who he was rather than his role as Ryan Atwood; McKenzie played Ryan Atwood in the teen drama. Baccarin said the series is "having a fun resurgence" and added, "I think it's awesome."

The couple met on the set of Gotham in 2014, married in 2017 and have two children — daughter Frances (born 2016) and son Arthur (born 2021 — and Baccarin also shares a son, Julius, with ex-husband Austin Chick. Baccarin will soon be seen in The Wrecking Crew, which stars Dave Bautista and Jason Momoa as estranged half-brothers, and she described her co-stars as "tender, big, kind guys," saying they shot a car sequence together for five days and enjoyed the joking and camaraderie.
