‘90210’ actress AnnaLynne McCord talked about a crush she has on an actor, her home-school past, and charity work on her appearance on “The Bonnie Hunt Show” on Monday.

McCord, who plays Naomi Clark on the CW teen drama, said being on “90210” is her chance to experience high school, as she was home-schooled when she grew up in Georgia. She said she was allowed to watch “Little House on the Prairie” and cited that even those kids were allowed to go to a real school. McCord said that she worked hard, though, and was able to earn her diploma early.

The actress spoke about Naomi’s education and her attempt to get into the college of her choice, the fictional California University (CU), which she said is filmed at USC, the University of Southern California (in the original series, “Beverly Hills, 90210,” Occidental College was used for exterior shots of CU). She spoke about how Naomi is trying to win over the son of the dean of admissions, and a clip was played from last week where Naomi pretends to be green to impress the guy, who is an environmentalist.

In real life, McCord expressed how she likes actor Tom Welling, and was jealous of Hunt, who has worked with him. Hunt said that she got to play his mother, though, referring to the “Cheaper by the Dozen” movies. In which McCord joked that she wouldn’t mind him calling her “mommy.”

One of McCord’s sisters was in the audience, and McCord stated how her sisters are the loves of her life. McCord is often seen out and about with her sisters, and stated that the trio live together.

McCord also chatted about her work with The Blind Project, which works to stop human trafficking. You can learn more about it here.
