Freddie Prinze Jr has opened up about the secret to a successful marriage with Sarah Michelle Gellar – despite never having watched her most famous work.
The actor, 46, has been with Sarah, 45, since 2000 after meeting on the set of I Know What You Did Last Summer in 1997, getting married in 2002, and revealed that laughter plays a big part in their marriage… that and the fact he thinks she might starve without him cooking for her.
Freddie joked on Australia’s Kyle and Jackie O show: ‘I hesitate at giving [relationship] advice because what’s good for me may kill another, just like peanut butter.’
He revealed he is pretty much the dream husband as he cooks and cleans for Sarah: ’My mum was a chef and I learned how to cook, and I married someone who couldn’t cook.
‘So I’m necessary. She needs me to live and sustain herself! Number two is laughter. I still make her laugh.’
There’s also no chance of Sarah finding Freddie’s dirty socks on the floor as he ‘loves doing laundry’, adding: ‘I hate a mess. If something is dirty, I clean it.

‘I do the dishes while I’m cooking so there’s less s**t to look at. I can’t stand a mess: my room is spotless, my car is spotless. I’m one day late for a haircut and I’m going crazy.
‘I saw a picture crooked in another guy’s office and I had to step up and straighten it. I can’t stand anything looking like c**p.’
Despite being pretty much perfect in every other way, Freddie still hasn’t watched one of Sarah in one of her most iconic roles.

Sarah starred as the titular role in Buffy The Vampire Slayer from 1997 until 2003, but Freddie has never watched the show, despite being married for most of her stint on it.
When asked if he ever called her by the wrong name, Freddie explained: ‘Not only have I never called her Buffy, I have never even seen the show.
‘I wasn’t the demographic, in my defence. She was my girlfriend, then my wife [so] I’ve never called her that ever. We’ve been married 20 years, together even longer.’
Freddie and Sarah also share a daughter born in 2009 and a son born in 2012.
