Dylan McDermott's gross food encounter is truly relatable

Dylan McDermott recently found himself in a hairy situation while abroad with his two daughters.

“Every year I try to take them somewhere they haven't been yet, so we chose Paris,” McDermott, 62, recalled during an appearance at Live with Kelly and Markon Thursday, February 15.

The actor, who shares daughters Colette27, and Charlotte Rose18, with ex-wife Shiva Rosenoted that while in the city of love, a chocolate croissant was first on his itinerary.

McDermott explained that he was especially excited to indulge in the sweet treat because it had been decades since he'd actually had one. “This was extra special because it's been 30 years [since I’ve eaten one], so I've been thinking about this moment for 30 years,” he said. “I thought, OK, I'm finally going to do it.”

However, when McDermott arrived at the bakery with his family, things didn't go exactly as he planned. “I walk in, there's a woman behind the counter, and I notice a little hair growing out of her chin,” he explained to the talk show hosts. Kelly Ripa And Mark Consuelos. “[Then]As I grab the croissant, I see it come away from her chin and I see it spin on my croissant.

McDermott said he couldn't believe what was happening and “immediately walked out” without ever taking a bite of the pastry.

When Consuelos, 52, heard about the gross incident, he seemed disgusted. Ripa, 53, said she wouldn't have a problem if that happened to her. “That wouldn't have stopped me,” she laughed. “I thought, wait for the problem to happen.”

McDermott made sure to make it clear that his story had a happy ending, as he was eventually able to get a delicious pastry – hair free – while in France.

“It came fresh from the oven. It was melted chocolate. It was flaky,” he told the hosts. “We had coffee on the sidewalk, I was in heaven.”

McDermott is currently promoting season 5 of his hit CBS series, FBI: Most Wanted where he plays Supervisory Special Agent Remy Scott. He joined the cast during the third season in 2022 and has been one of the leads ever since.

As he reflected on his time there, he shared with Ripa and Consuelos that one of his favorite memories was when Colette appeared in one of the episodes as a student connected to his task force's latest case.

“One of the best days of my life was when my daughter guest-starred on FBI: Most Wanted and I had to arrest her,” he joked about the Season 4 episode.

As for whether or not she will guest star again in season 5, McDermott said he “hoped so.”

Season 5 of FBI: Most Wanted airs on CBS Tuesdays at 10pm ET.
