Fred Savage thought for many years that Alicia Silverstone had given him a fake phone number after the two acted together in The Wonder Years.

Silverstone made the revelation in a recent conversation with Entertainment Weekly. The actress was only 14 years old when she starred alongside Savage in episode 11 of the show’s 5th season.
“Fred Savage’s character [Kevin Arnold] asks me out and I say: ‘Pick me up at seven,’ or something like that. And that’s what makes him decide that he needs to learn how to drive,” Silverstone told EW.
After filming, Savage wanted to keep in touch with Silverstone. “Fred asked me for [my] number, which was very kind, because I was 14,” the actress recalled.
“My home phone number was also used as a fax line for my father’s work. So he tried to call a few times, but it went straight to the fax. Then he thought I had given him a fake number or something like that.”
Fortunately, Silverstone explained that she and Savage talked about the misunderstanding and that she “already cleared up the situation.”
The actress also said that she managed to stay in touch with Josh Saviano, who played Paul, Kevin’s best friend, and that they “became very good friends.” “I don’t know how our exchange of numbers worked, but it worked,” she joked afterward.
