If you're both a fan of The Office and a die-hard Jim and Pam shipper, then you might want to take a seat before reading this. While appearing on Wednesday's Watch What Happens Live, Jenna Fischer talked about her chemistry with John Krasinski. As fans of the show know, there was no denying they had amazing onscreen chemistry. Well, as Fischer explains, it wasn't just something for the cameras; their closeness was genuine. She even said that parts of her and Krasinski were in love with another. I know, I'm freaking out, too.
She said,
John and I have real chemistry. There's like a real part of me that is Pam and a real part of him that's Jim and those parts of us were genuinely in love with one another. But in real life we aren't totally Pam and totally Jim, so in real life we're not the perfect match. So, it's a really complicated thing. I mean, he was like a type of spouse that I had for a long time, he was my partner and we will always be close because of it.
Jenna, you're making me emotional! You know, a part of me always wanted Fischer and Krasinski to be together in real life. Jim and Pam were the perfect couple and they played them so well, how could you not root for them to be a real-life couple, too?
Obviously, that never happened and now they are both married to different people and have kids. But Fischer's words are good enough for me. Hearing that they are super close and that they loved one another in a sense is beyond anything I could ask for. And now I'm feeling a lot of emotions at this time, so I may need to go take a breather to recover. I am *swooning* hard.
With that, let's take a moment to remember some of Jim and Pam's best moments that really show that genuine chemistry.
Their Niagara Falls Wedding
Never has a wedding been more perfect, you know, minus everything that went wrong.
When Jim Confessed His Love
No, I'm totally not crying.
When They Finally Got Engaged
Yes, it was at a gas station, but it was still beyond romantic.
Every Time They High-Fived
No one does it like them.
When Jim Said This
Seriously, how can you not love them?
Of Course, Their First Kiss
Best. Moment. Ever.
