The It Girl of the Early 2000s is Ready for Her Close-up All Over Again
You may have thought former socialite Mischa Barton to be over the hill – but The OC alum is back in The Hills: New Beginnings showing a new, authentic side of herself. Leaving the bad times and breakdowns behind, Mischa has taken a hiatus from acting to join OG cast members Heidi Pratt, Audrina Patridge and Whitney Port and their latest real-life dramas. It’s also been an opportunity for Mischa to give fans an insight into her colourful life as a performer, a style icon and savvy businesswoman.
Here, Mischa, 33, reveals why she had to think twice before letting the cameras in, how she was always around The Hills and what she’s looking for in her perfect man…
How does it feel to be back on TV?
It feels crazy, especially as I feel like I’ve been through a lot in the last few years. It definitely feels like I’m starting a new chapter in my life. This has been an interesting journey and it’s been really fun to do. I’m really happy to be back.
Where were you when The Hills first aired on TV?
I was really busy doing The OC. I was totally aware of the show and actually used to drop by when they were filming just to spy on them! I remember back in the day it was a lot of Brody [Jenner] and Audrina. I’ve known Brody for a while, so that was my reason for piquing my interest. They would be filming at these different clubs and restaurants in LA and I was curious to see what they got up to.
