Sarah Michelle Gellar posts Buffy 'thirst trap' and fans are in love

Sarah Michelle Gellar sparked an Instagram frenzy by sharing a 'thirsty' throwback to her Buffy the Vampire Slayer Days.

The actress, who boasts 3 million followers on the site, asked if she was doing it right as she shared a picture of her guzzling milk in a a scene from the iconic series.

"This is what all the cool kids have been posting on Instagram right? #ThirstTrap #tbt " she teased.

The shot was taken from episode two of Season 4 where Buffy falls out with her evil college roommate Kathy Newman.

After moving to her dorm at UC Sunnydale, Buffy gets her revenge on Kathy by supping her milk.

It later transpired Kathy was sucking away Buffy's soul at night, so the petty act was probably justified.

43-year-old has been enjoying taking trips down memory lane in lockdown and amusing fans with some photos of her past roles.

In April she shared a picture of her Buffy character rocking super short fringe and joked: "How some of y’alls quarantine haircuts are looking."

The actress is currently in lockdown with her husband Freddie Prinze Jr and their two kids Charlotte, ten, and Rocky seven.

The pair met on the set of 1997 film I know What You Did Last Summer and tied the knot five years later.

Earlier this year, Sarah shared the incredible story of how she and Freddie almost didn't get together.

"20 years ago this week, my friend @realfreddieprinze and I were supposed to have dinner with a mutual friend from out of town.

"That friend missed her flight, but we decided to still meet and catch up. Now 20 years together, 17 plus married and two kids, we still go to that restaurant for dinner.

"So thank you @sloaney77 for not showing up for dinner," joked Sarah.
