During her appearance on the latest episode of Jenna & Friends, the 43-year-old host confessed that one of Danes' characters inspired her early hair transformation.

"I have had kind of a girl crush on you for a long time, including in the sixth grade when I got food coloring and I dyed my hair to look [like you]," Bush Hager told Danes, referring to her role as Angela Chase on the beloved teen drama.

The television personality even shared a side-by-side photo of herself as a kid and Danes’ character, both rocking the same reddish-brown shade.

"I mean, please look, doesn't that little person want to be the other little person?" she joked.

"That is very sweet," replied Danes, 46, before moving to a new topic.
