Rachel Bilson Over 'The O.C.'
Thursday September 7, 2006


When OC star, Rachel Bilson sat down to talk about her new movie, The Last Kiss with the October issue of Teen Vogue, she uttered the word “weird” 17 times. She used it to describe the circumstances surrounding her first conversation with Scrubs star, Zach Braff, whom she acts opposite in the the film. (He called her out of the blue to ask her to be in a music video he was directing, then she got the Kiss script. ) Here are some highlights from the hour-long interview that didn't include the “w” word.
 
On The O.C.:
“I just feel like the show is over. I’m so happy for everything it brought me, and it’s been such a great experience, but I think we’re all ready to move on.”
 
On being famous:
“There’s this unspoken thing: ‘I know your face and your name because you’re in magazines or whatever, so I’m going to say hi.’ It’s so funny. This thing with celebrities. I mean, I don’t like to say I’m a celebrity. We don’t need to go there.”
 
On not being a tabloid cover girl:
“I’m blessed. I don’t have to deal with [unwanted media attention] as much as a lot of other people.”
 
On her new film The Last Kiss:
“I wanted to a part of something good for my first movie. I get offers for teen, O.C., typecasting kind of roles, but I decided to steer away from that. I wanted to show that I could do other things.
 
On making movies:
“Ideally, I just want to make movies. It’s just what I’ve always wanted to do, and nothing would make me happier than having that chance. I love doing comedy , but I’d do drama, period pieces, anything. There’s so much out that and it will be fun to be able to explore that.”
