CLAIRE DANES'S SEXIEST FAN

Paul Walker (catch him in this month's Varsity Blues) admits it: Only one starlet ever made him sweat - Claire Danes. Here, the hottie tells us what went down on the set of their movie, 'Brokedown Place'

"I've found that the safest way to go into working with someone famous is to expect that person to be a complete freak. That way, if the celeb ends up being a huge jerk, it's not such a big letdown."

"I met Claire on the set of 'Brokedown Place' (coming next month). My first day at work we had this cutesy romantic scene to do together. I'd only spoken to Claire for maybe about five minutes before we started filming, and we were supposed to act all lovey-dovey. Plus, I was like 'Oh my gosh, this is Claire Danes, the girl from 'Romeo + Juliet' and 'My So-Called Life!' If ever I was starstruck, it was by Claire.

"She must have sensed my nervousness, because she set me at ease with her calm vibe. I really liked Claire a lot, even though I didn't get to go one-on-one with her. Claire's boyfriend, Ben Lee was always there. Don't get me wrong, Ben's a nice guy, but I really wanted to spend more time with her."
