Back in May 2010, the actor opened up with Access Hollywood about meeting Lauren in the parking lot of Whole Foods.
“I saw her in the produce section and I thought to myself, ‘I’ve gotta find a way — I’ve got to jockey position in this checkout line or something,'” Michael told Access at the time about when he first laid eyes on Lauren. “I saw her and I was I was quite stunned. As I was leaving, I saw her putting her groceries into the trunk of her car and I just thought, ‘This is it, man! Life’s too short!'”
But Michael had trouble with his initial introduction.

“I was like a blubbering idiot,” he recalled. “I didn’t really know what to do. I think she felt sorry for me and [taking my e-mail] was a way to not let me down too hard ‘cause she thought there’s a chance this poor blubbering idiot might commit suicide if I say no, so it was like, ‘Here, don’t kill yourself. Give me your e-mail.'”
Adding, “The minute she left I thought, ‘Well, that’s never gonna happen. Way to go idiot! You blew yet another chance at love! But she e-mailed me.”
