Summary

It's round 2 with Stephen Colletti! Stephen opens up about his journey from MTV fame to scripted TV, what One Tree Hill really meant to him, and how navigating fame at a young age shaped who he is today, on screen and off. We talk about growing up in the public eye, the pressure of being labeled a “heartthrob,” and what it was like transitioning from reality TV on MTV to becoming a serious actor on One Tree Hill. Stephen also gets real about love, sharing the story of how he found his person, what finally felt different this time around, and how real life romance compares to the ones we all shipped on TV.

what happened in between there? There was a lot of discussion when you came on traders
