HOLLYWOOD - Romance is brewing on the set of TV hit Heroes--Masi Oka has admitted he's got a crush on new castmate Kristen Bell.

The Japanese star of the show admits he's smitten with the pretty blonde, whom he took as his date to the Emmy Awards after his mother refused to fly to Los Angeles from Japan for the ceremony.

And he went public with his crush during an interview on Ellen DeGeneres’ TV talk show on Friday.

The 32-year-old said, "Kristen is an absolutely amazing individual both on and off screen. We're great friends. Everyone has a crush on her."

But when host DeGeneres pried further, asking Oka, "Is she a good kisser or not?" the red-faced star replied, "I'm sure she is."
