We appreciate her thoughts and what she has to say, unlike you who just skips through to hear the "i don't talk to him because..." sentence.

[@daaniimal2489]

Alright, true story: I was at a bar in LA. Not even a fancy one, just some small random spot. I got drunk so I stepped outside to smoke a cigarette. Guess who walks past? Shia Labeouf (I almost didn’t recognize him, he looks different in person) Anyway, I stop him and we start talking. He was hella chill. Asked me for a cigarette while we talked. Remember I’m drunk, so I’m just asking hella questions. He’s laughing and answering them the best he could. Then I SPECIFICALLY asked him does he still talk to Ren (I was smashed and couldn’t remember her real name) He said “nah, we kinda went different ways. But that’s still sis though, you know?” He didn’t elaborate like he had done with my previous questions, but that was also the question he answered with the most sincerity

[@miranda13c]

@@kgal1298 Yea, but basically this same concept goes for many different TV shows on many different networks. So many costars that had great chemistry on the show and were written as best friends or lovers are often either exes in real life or not friends at all OR they actively dislike each other (like Blake Lively and Leighton Meester). Another somewhat recent example is Lucy Hale not being actual friends with the rest of the girls. They are friendly and seem to be nice to each other and on good terms, but Lucy is not friends with Troian, Shay, and Ashley like those three are with each other. It actually seems like Lucy is closer to Janel and Sasha (even though Sasha is a lot younger than the rest of the cast, she is about 10 years younger than Shay and Troian). I know Lucy and Ashley were friends before PLL even started but I don’t think they are much now, and that’s okay! Fans literally would lose their mind anytime that Shay, Troian, and Ashley hung out together and posted on Instagram. Lucy has had to clarify several times that there’s no animosity but they are just different people and don’t really hang out like that.

[@tammiepage6489]

She might’ve been a big sister for millions of generations but I can’t even understand what she’s saying you know she probably felt bad for Shia. She had to learn things the hard way, but sometimes it’s actually easier when you have somebody there so I can understand what she’s saying because she knew him and for the generation you’re talking about for a whole generation, she don’t know them when you’re close to people You know when you’re with them yes, especially because she went through things that she probably wasn’t aware of at the time because sometimes you know it’s like these other celebrities have said that too when they see this I was like he’s going through what they’re going through now they wish they were there for them or no she don’t need to be their self up for it because you know when you’re young, you don’t think I like that you know I know you go through life you learn things and whatever so I understand what she’s saying and I wish you understand that too. You know yes she don’t need to beat her self up for a bit because everything happens for a reason But ETA when you know cause I think because I sense of the word Shia where he was envious of a crazy cause Romano. He sat there and gotten you know teary-eyed when is in Washington even Stevens he got a little teary-eyed watching her so and I was like yeah I think he cared for her too, and he probably wish the same thing if I wish they had a more of a close relationship. I’ve heard of actors doing that after show ends I wish I had a better relationship. there’s nothing wrong with that that you wish I am you can’t change the past, but I know if you do wish you had that brother sister relationship offset because I’ve heard of other actors like on like Hannah Montana Miley Cyrus said that you know she wish her and Emily Osmond had a better relationship than they did in real life and they didn’t have a better relationship. They didn’t have the best friend relationship like they did on the show in real life, she said they didn’t get along. It’s not like they didn’t get along. She said they didn’t get along, but they didn’t have the relationship like they did on the TV and she wish they didn’t and she wish she could change that you know she wishing Her back and said they wish they had a better relationship so again a lot of exercise said the same thing they wish they had the same kind of relationship they had on TV but you know you can’t change what happened everything to me I was for a reason you know I mean yeah sure is shy. I had to learn the hard way, but at the same time you know and I get it because I probably would’ve been nice to have that kind of relationship thing and Shia probably wish the same thing he probably wish you had the same. Do you know brother sister relationship with her to if I wish that too You know that and there’s nothing wrong with that too. Yes I mean it’s like in real life when you have siblings you know you want to siblings to be there for you you don’t want to say all you have to learn the hard way sometimes it’s easier when you have somebody older to be there for you like that like she’s on the things that she is going through now or has it gone through or was going through whatever because he was going through stuff back then and he was still OK so I cannot see what she saying Because most people when they know somebody they probably wish they could’ve got a protect them and give him a hug and that they need it you know cause maybe he would be where he’s at today whatever not that he’s a bad person you know and maybe you know what he went through made him a stronger person because everything happens for a reason, but I get what she saying, but you know you can’t dwell in the past you know it is not around her, wishing that she could change that You know if people has understand too it’s cool for them to be you know a big sister for the whole generation like it’s cool for the field to be like that but same time do you want to be that to the person you know is when you’re close to someone you’re with them you wish you could help them more. I mean like grandparents do you try to protect your kids from making the same mistakes you did I mean you can’t stop and make a mistake sure but you try to protect them from it because I like they know every damn thing and I do think you know I will turning 18 means I fully know everything about life no you don’t you don’t know shit about life. Yeah that’s what a lot of kids do nowadays to.

He may have walked longer than 20. There are a lot of cuts in this (probably has to reshoot every sentence multiple times because of extraneous noise or finding a better way to phrase it).

[@BloodyRegrets]

I always say this “why do people expect actors/actresses to be friends when they started in a TV show/movie together? Most of us aren’t friends with our co-workers either, so why are they held to that standard?”

[@katelynbrown98]

I think it's cause of the type of work they do. And a lot of the audience for these shows are kids and teens so you probably don't realize that acting is just a job. But also I'd argue that a lot of people have difficulty making friends and they may only be friends with their coworkers. I think it's also cause actors do an intimate kind of work where they're putting a part of themselves out there for the world to see and can be affected by the stories they're portraying.

[@littlesparrow303]

True!! Even In actual work you aren’t gonna be friends with everyone. You’re just there to get your check for the week

[@hothotheat3000]

People want to believe the fantasy.

[@user-py2fx5wp1o]

It’s because people (both kids and adults) get attached to these actors as their characters. I think people get lost in the show/movie and start to believe that what they’re watching on screen translates to real life.

[@elouise5593]

I am still friends with many of my former coworkers. It might be because we are caregivers, rather than actors competing against each other.

[@KHLIv]

Friendships aren’t always perfect. And you don’t need someone to tell you that you are friends for it to be true. You were very honest and talked very nicely.

[@BetzyArosemena]

Exactly! I also love that, they are people and that's their job if they feel ok with sharing their experience i think this is a great way to do it. I also appreciate that she wasn't scripted, it was just like having a convo on a walk with an old friend, catching up.

[@pharaohosam]

I loved this so much. Thanks for sharing this retrospective, and the stories. You hear it all the time I'm sure, but I felt like I knew you, Shia, and that entire Even Stevens cast. That was such a special time in life, and the further removed we are from it the more I appreciate it. They say it's not healthy to be too nostalgic, but how can one not be with the way life and this world are now? I'd go back in a heartbeat. P.S. You kinda remind me of my sister, Christy. I'm very lucky to have her and I wish Shia could have had a similar sister figure in his life. As a male, it's such a uniquely positive influence growing up with an older sister. I know you would have been that in hindsight. Either way, I'm sure you were good to him. Keep up the awesome work!

Is it common for people to assume people stay in touch with their show families? Whiles close bonds can be formed, it is a job, and when you boil it down, they’re simply co-workers. It’s a beautiful gift when you click with and form life-long friendships with those you meet on set. Just have to navigate through all the egos and politics. 🦈

[@taylorm7777]

To me, I would imagine it feels like "going to school" with these people, and when the show comes to an end its "the end of the year" and they always say they will keep in touch but just lose each other along the way.

[@ritster21]

@@taylorm7777 It’s pretty much this. They could have been the best of friends. But when the common denominator is cut, aka the show ends, they lose the thing that keeps them together. It’s like a piece of string getting cut. Without the show, they have no reason to see other anymore.

[@cakt1991]

There were big-ish headlines around Ashley Tisdale saying she doesn’t see Brenda Song anymore…people assume if you were on a popular show and played BFFs or siblings, you were like family. And then there was the whole Drake Bell/Josh Peck thing with Josh’s wedding…although now with the latest stuff happening with Drake, I feel like more fans will be understanding if Josh wants to keep his distance. But it does seem to happen a lot, since fans become invested in these people, so then the stars talk about it.
