Shane West says he and Mandy Moore crushed on each other filming 'A Walk to Remember' - Yahoo Entertainment

Shane West is spilling secrets from A Walk to Remember, and according to the teen heartthrob, he and Mandy Moore had crushes on each other while filming the movie.

It's hard to imagine anyone other than Moore playing Jamie Sullivan, the reverend's daughter battling a terminal-leukemia diagnosis, but West admitted he thinks Jessica Simpson was in talks for the role first. .

"I remember thinking that would be very difficult to make happen.

I remember thinking Mandy, even though I didn’t know her, was perfect for this," he added.

West said his connection with Moore was immediate.

It was one of the nicest auditions ever, where Mandy and I got to read together, with the director, at Warner Bros.

But I think he had always said that [Mandy] was his favorite and I was his favorite, so he wanted to put us together, work with us, and see if we could have chemistry," he continued.

But according to West, getting the temporary tattoo on the actress's shoulder was harder than it looked.

I don’t think there are — where I peel it off and it’s like a third of a butterfly, or half a butterfly, or it didn’t work at all.

Another fun fact West shared is that he bought the orange and white car from the movie, which he still has.

I painted it black with a red stripe," he said, explaining he's thinking of selling it.
