The following podcast is a Dear Media production. This is Let's Be Honest with Kristen Cavallari, a podcast all about getting real and open on everything from sex, relationships, reality TV, wellness, family, and so much more. And just a fair warning, there will probably be some oversharing. Welcome in, guys. Today is a fun one. It is one of my good friends, someone who I absolutely adore and who I know you all know and love. And it is Rachel Bilson. Enjoy this episode. I'm so excited to see you. I know you are my absolute favorite.
I love you so much. It's been too long.
You were born and raised in L.A. I was. And so I think L.A. is its own world. It's really hard to be here, especially grow up here. And then also being in the entertainment industry. I mean, that adds a whole other layer to it.
Yeah.
You somehow have remained. normal and sane and cool. And so I want to know how the hell you've done that.
I'm really happy that's like the outer persona because I lose my shit all the time. No, you know what I think it is? It's really funny because like all of my best friends are my best friends since I was like 13 years old, you know, junior high, whatever. We all grew up in the Valley. Yeah. And they're still my best friend. And it just I don't know what it is. Also, like being around L.A. growing up, all the things weren't like These crazy things that were like Hollywood and the glam and the whatever. Like we were sneaking into clubs underage very early.
Like all the clubs in West Hollywood? Of course.
How old were you when you started going to the clubs? I mean, I want to say the first time I tried, I was probably like 15. But I looked way too young. So I don't think it was successful. But I feel like around 18 or 19.
What childhood experiences shaped Rachel Bilson's perspective on fame?
I would have to borrow IDs and like go into the clubs. And it's just having that experience before, then you start working and people might recognize you or whatever, but you've kind of already done that whole thing beforehand. It just kind of painted a different perspective, I guess.
That's interesting. I mean, I guess I started going out in LA my senior year of high school. Right. Exactly. It's the same thing. I don't remember needing a fake ID though. Yeah. Is that weird? And then all of a sudden I think it was like a couple of years in, that's when they started cracking down. And then there was like a six month period that I couldn't go to the clubs until I turned
21 that's like the perfect window right so you've talked a lot about how you got into a lot of trouble growing up you were kind of a bad girl right well as part of it was like doing all of that beforehand you get it out of your system we for sure were you know going to parties Having our like Mickey 40s, I could never obviously like I'm not a drinker. I can't drink. I will throw up if I drink. So it's not really my thing. But you experiment with everything.
Yeah.
And you just go for it. But again, I was grateful that I got it out of the way because I was super domesticated once I started working.
Oh, great.
I want to be at home. I want to cook. Yeah. You know, and do all that. And I was only like when I got on the OC, I was 21.
And so you were already over that whole phase. I was kind of already over that.
Oh, that's nice.
Yeah, it is.
It's not like we didn't go out, but we all went out as a group. And then I was in a relationship and like my friends would come along with us.
Yeah, it's just different, right? Once you're in a relationship too, it's different. Yes. Well, I just saw you went on another podcast and you talked about how you got in a car accident. Yeah. When you were 14. I was 14. I was shocked by this story. Really? Yeah. I mean, I just didn't know.
I was like, holy shit. I know. So what happened? Oh my God. So speaking of like, you know, partying a little too young. Yeah. We were kids and my friend and I and a couple guys like were on the beach and they were Drinking and, you know, I think the boys were doing other things. They may have been.
Right.
And we left. We were like in Oxnard, which is, you know, north of L.A.
