Mischa Barton, known for her role as Marissa on The O.C., recently revealed details about her off-screen relationship with co-star Ben McKenzie. Barton, who was 17 when she joined the cast, shared that their romance extended beyond the screen and was a complex experience for her.
Being the youngest cast member, Barton felt the pressure to mature quickly and navigate relationships, despite feeling unprepared due to her late blooming nature. She described her time on the show as a period of many firsts, including her first off-screen relationship with McKenzie, which she admitted she had no prior experience in handling.
