Apparently, things weren't always perfect in "The O.C."
Cam Gigandet says he didn't get a warm welcome when he joined the cast of hit Fox series back in 2005.
The "Burlesque" star had some less-than-flattering things to say about his former costars in a recent interview for Elle magazine's "Hot Guy/Cold Drink" feature.
When asked whether he stays in touch with anyone from the show, the "Reckless" actor replied, "No. Actually Ben McKenzie was kind of mean to me. I hadn't done anything at that point and he was a little bit of an ass." He added, "But I love him. I think he's a great actor and I love Southland."
The 31-year-old hunk also dissed Mischa Barton, who played a love interest for his character, Kevin Volchok. "Mischa? I didn't really...Was she there?" he said. "I don't even have memories of her."
Ouch!
It seems that most of his memories from the show aren't positive. "I learned a lot. But the things that I remember now—none of them are good," he admitted. "It was only the third or fourth season. Those kids were f---ing miserable. They were just—they would not remember their lines on purpose. They were young."
Well, at least he's being honest!
