“I think it’s gross, to be perfectly honest,” Thomas Dekker — who played Claire’s best friend, Zach during season one of Heroes — tells Life & Style magazine. “It’s kind of like if I were dating a 12-year-old,” the 20-year-old adds.

Not content with just calling the coupling “gross,” the Sarah Connor Chronicles star also says that he can’t even comprehend how the co-stars make it work. “I’m definitely surprised they’re together. For me, it would be a struggle to be with someone in such a different age range,” he says.
