The pair had actually worked previously together - they revealed to E! both starred on The O.C when Morena had a short stint on the show.

However Benjamin could not remember her role.

The actor is notoriously private about his love life, and likes to play his cards close to his chest when it comes to women.  

He told Elle: 'I'm really shy about that stuff. I really don't like relationships to be played out in public. It creates terrible strain. It creates bizarre dynamics. There's that saying, "Less said about the bedroom, the better."'

He likes to be a gentleman when it comes to dating - he revealed one of the best things about getting a regular acting gig was being able to take a woman out: 'Honestly, it was great to be able to take a girl out to a nice meal.

'I like the idea of old-fashioned dating, which at this point is almost heretical. People are genuinely surprised when you ask them out.'

Gotham, which is a prequel to Batman chronicles the life of Police Commissioner James Gordon, will debut it's second season on Monday, September 21st.
