In a Netflix crossover no one expected, Owning Manhattan<\/a> real estate aficionado Jessica Taylor<\/a> just revealed her shocking connection to Stranger Things<\/a> star Jamie Campbell Bower<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When Taylor stopped by DECIDER\u2019s studio earlier this week to talk about Owning Manhattan Season 2, she shared that her first kiss was with Bower, who plays series villain Henry Creel (a.k.a Vecna) in Stranger Things.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy first kiss was actually with someone who is on Stranger Things,\u201d she shared. \u201cIt was an amazing show, but after the first season, it was a little scary for me. I need something light and fluffy. He plays the villain, I believe. Jamie Campbell Bower.\u201d<\/p>\n

When pressed for more details, Taylor revealed that she found herself slow dancing with Bower in grade school after his cousin, whom she had gone to school with, brought him to their Valentine\u2019s dance.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a slow dance. You know those discos?\u201d she remembered. \u201cWe would do slow dances and the song that was playing was \u2018Angel of Mine\u2019 [by Monica] \u2026 We were slow dancing and we kissed. So, that was my first kiss.\u201d<\/p>\n

Taylor added, \u201cHe probably doesn\u2019t even remember.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bower made his Netflix debut as Henry\/Vecna\/One in Season 4 of Stranger Things, while Taylor burst onto the scene in August 2024 as one of the main cast members of Owning Manhattan, which follows real estate mogul Ryan Serhant<\/a>\u2018s team of agents as they not only navigate the luxurious New York City real estate market, but also their dramatic personal lives.<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s certainly a small world that the two UK-born celebs who once shared an \u201980s rom-com-style smooch on the dance floor would both end up on top-rated Netflix shows around the same time, I suppose it\u2019s safe to say that stranger things have happened.<\/p>\n

Owning Manhattan Season 2 and Stranger Things Season 5, Part 1 are currently streaming on Netflix.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In a Netflix crossover no one expected, Owning Manhattan real estate aficionado Jessica Taylor just revealed her shocking…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":62246,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[14921,33101,75,84,83,9,24,12,63,33102,3296],"class_list":{"0":"post-62245","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-manhattan","8":"tag-jamie-campbell-bower","9":"tag-jessica-taylor","10":"tag-manhattan","11":"tag-manhattan-headlines","12":"tag-manhattan-news","13":"tag-new-york","14":"tag-new-york-city","15":"tag-news","16":"tag-nyc","17":"tag-reality-show","18":"tag-reality-tv"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62245","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=62245"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62245\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/62246"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=62245"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=62245"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=62245"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
