While guest co-hosting yesterday's THE TALK on CBS, Tony winner Idina Menzel confessed to having a "wicked" celebrity crush on 'Bourne' star Matt Damon joking, "Celebrity crush, please! I believe he's my soulmate."

The singer shared that while starring in Broadway's WICKED, her cast mates would constantly tease her about her feelings for the actor. "They'd tell me every night when he was in the audience, but he wasn't in the audience," she explained. When Damon finally did attend the show, Menzel revealed, "he came backstage and I was scrubbing the green make up off so I could look pretty. He came over with his beautiful wife and his daughter and he said one word to me. He's so gorgeous," she gushed. Watch the appearance below!

Tony Award-winning icon Idina Menzel has a diverse career that traverses stage, film, television and music. Menzel's voice can be heard as Elsa in Disney's global box office smash "Frozen," in which she sings the film's Oscar-winning song "Let It Go," and in the follow-up short, "Frozen Fever." After Menzel's performance of the multi-platinum song at the 86th Annual Academy Awards, she made history as the first person with both a Billboard Top 10 hit and a Tony Award for acting. Menzel earned her first Tony nomination as Maureen in the Pulitzer Prize winner "Rent," and won the award for her performance as Elphaba in "Wicked." Other notable projects include "Glee" and Disney's "Enchanted."

She embarked on a worldwide tour in 2015 that included Asia, UK and North America. In addition to cast albums, Menzel's prolific recording career includes the solo albums "I Stand," "Here" and "Still I Can't Be Still." Her first-ever Christmas album "Holiday Wishes," released October 2014 on Warner Bros. Records, debuted at #1 on Billboard's Holiday Albums chart, broke into the top 10 on Billboard Top 200 Album Chart and received rave reviews. Menzel was most recently seen on Broadway as Elizabeth in the original production "If/Then," for which she earned her third Tony nomination. Menzel also sang the National Anthem at SUPER BOWLXLIX, which set the record for the most-watched show in U.S. history.
