Taran Killam basically said what every woman thinks of his Little Shop of Horrors costar Jake Gyllenhall.

“The cast is amazing Jake Gyllenhall is playing Seymour, which is you know, very cool,” Killam told NBC’s New York Live. “He’s a frickin’ dreamboat we ve all seen the Southpaw poster!”

“No bread that guy, no bread ever!” he added about Gyllenhall’s insanely ripped movie promo pic. “We haven’t met yet he’s come to [Saturday Night Live], so we’ve crossed in the hallway, but we’ve never had an official introduction but I’m such a big fan of his.”

Killam will join Gyllenhall as dentist Orin Scrivello – played by Steve Martin in the 1986 film – in a two-night musical performance at New York’s City Center in July.

“The movie, I grew up watching and loved and Rick Moranis and Bill Murray, there s obviously a big connection to [SNL] and [SNL] talent,” Killam said. “And I’ve met Steve a couple of times, I haven’t spoken to him since I got this role but he’s always been pretty kind to me and a hero of mine, so it is an honor.”
