Josh Duhamel had to go to great lengths just to catch Fergie’s attention. In a 2010 interview with Parade, the actor dished that their love story wasn’t all that different from his movie, “When In Rome.”
“The joke in “When in Rome” is that all these guys are stalking Kristen Bell’s character because she grabbed the coins they threw into a fountain in Rome. I could relate. That’s how I got my wife,” he quipped. “I literally stalked her for weeks until she said yes. They say it’s not stalking if she says yes.” It seems like he was joking, of course. Or was he?

He certainly went through some hoops just so they could meet. In his “Anderson Live” appearance, Duhamel shared that he arranged for Black Eyed Peas to guest on the show he was in, and a year later, it happened. But he fumbled their first conversation with a corny pick-up line.
“After they finished rehearsing, I was walking out, and all of a sudden she was walking toward me,” Duhamel told Best Life (via People). “I was like, Oh boy. She stopped. And this is so sad, but I said, in this desperate voice, ‘You’re hot! The crush of a lifetime, and that was my line!” he recalled. Luckily, Fergie didn’t find him too weird and brought up how she knew that he had a crush on her. “Yeah, I read InStyle,” she replied. “So … how was I in your dream?”
