She made an appearance on Kelly & Michael earlier this month and while the two definitely played up their chemistry on camera, it continued when the show was over.

According to Hollywood Life Wednesday, a source revealed, "Michael flirted openly with Taraji on camera, but he wasn't kidding - off camera, he kept asking her, 'When can I take you out?'"

Taraji P. Henson Snaps After Fake Butt Rumors, 'I Don't Need Shots!'

As far as Henson, who is surely one of the most eligible bachelorettes in Hollywood, she seems to be flattered by the former NFL star's attempts.

"She's definitely smitten, but she likes to take things slow!" the insider added.

Regardless if the rumor is true, there could be a spark there based on her appearance on the show.

During a commercial break, Strahan pointed out that he retired from the NFL after 15 years but Henson made it clear, "You still seem healthy," and said he looks like he could toss a good throw in a football game.

After Henson egged him on (along with the crowd cheering and encouraging him to also show off his skills) he got on the floor and did a few push-ups to impress her.

She made sure he didn't try to "get out of it" and added that she would sit on his back.

The agreement was that he only had to do one but he ended up doing three. He removed his tie and she screamed, "Take it off!"
