Sarah Michelle Gellar Reveals Why She Didn't Watch a Movie with Husband Freddie Prinze Jr. For 15 Years

01/29/2023 12:05 pm EST

Sarah Michelle Gellar is best known for playing the titular role in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, which premiered back in 1997. That was a huge year for Gellar who also appeared in Scream 2 and I Know What You Did Last Summer. Making I Know What You Did Last Summer was especially important because it's how Gellar met her husband, Freddie Prinze Jr. The couple recently had their 20th wedding anniversary, but it hasn't all been perfect. Gellar is currently busy promoting her new Paramount+ show, Wolf Pack, and she recently revealed to Graham Norton (via Entertainment Weekly) that Prinze wouldn't watch movies with her for 15 years because she spoiled The Sixth Sense. Gellar was on the show with M. Night Shyamalan, who is promoting his new movie Knock at the Cabin, when she asked Norton and the director, "Can I tell you the most embarrassing story ever?" She began, "It's a Freddie Prinze story. We've all seen Sixth Sense here?"

"We're about 20 minutes into [The Sixth Sense] and I said something ... It popped out, like, 'Oh, is that…'" Gellar explained of the iconic movie's major twist. "And my husband didn't see a movie with me for 15 years." Shyamalan took Prinze Jr.'s side and jokingly replied, "Rightfully so." Gellar added with a laugh, "I forgot about that until I just saw you here ... I'm having PTSD."
