Boy Meets World star Danielle Fishel has revealed that she was catfished by an adult man posing as a young female fan when she was a child.
In a recent episode of the Pod Meets World podcast, Fishel recalled: “When we first started getting fan mail, I also read them all and responded to them all.
Eventually, Fishel said her mum realised her pen pal was, in fact, an adult man after they “got a letter from [the real girl’s] brother saying that she had died”.
Fishel starred in all seven seasons of the US coming-of-age sitcom between 1993 and 2000, playing Ben Savage’s character Cory’s love interest Topanga.
