Jessica Capshaw is joking about the "missed opportunity" she had with Benny Blanco after recently running into him on a night out.
The 48-year-old actress made the realization on a new episode of her Call It What It Is podcast with fellow Grey's Anatomy star Camilla Luddington, explaining how she and her son Luke recently attended a New York Knicks game at Madison Square Garden in New York City where Blanco was also watching the basketball game and she didn't take the chance to invite him on the podcast for a chat.
Capshaw said that while she wasn't able to work up the nerve to say anything to him, her son seemingly had no problem approaching the songwriter and producer as they all sat court side.
"He got the moxie to go up to Benny Blanco and ask for a picture, and I didn't have the moxie to walk up to Benny Blanco and be like, 'hey, will you come on the podcast?'" she said, laughing, causing Luddington to call it "such a missed opportunity."
Capshaw noted the "most endearing part" of the exchange was that Blanco went out of his way to make sure the snap turned out great for Luke, moving his mid-game snack out of the way so his food wasn't in the picture.
Capshaw and Luddington not only co-starred on the hit medical drama but they're also real-life besties who "[open] up their friendship circle" to listeners on their podcast, which occasionally features special guests.
