The cult series “OC, California” is celebrating its 20th birthday. The former actors celebrated this with humorous posts on Instagram.
Mourning for past coolness
Leading actor Ben McKenzie posted a scene photo on the occasion of the anniversary of himself and his ex-series colleague Adam Brody (43) and commented on it with the words: “20 years ago today ‘The OC’ premiered. I keep showing my kids pictures to prove how cool I used to be, but for some reason they don’t seem to get it.”
His former colleague Olivia Wilde, who now also works as a director, also reminisced about the past and posted a photo of himself and series colleague Mischa Barton in an Instagram story, commenting with “Mischa = One of the most beautiful faces I have seen I’ve ever seen. I remember just going, ‘whoooaaaaa’.” Rachel Bilson was rather brief and simply commented on a series photo of himself with “Twenty”. Julie Cooper actress Melinda Clarke (54) also posted two images from the series and explained: “Wait, what?! How old are we?” She also added the hashtag #foreveryoung (“forever young”).
“Yes, I feel old”
And Josh Schwartz (47), creator and executive producer of the series, took the opportunity to commemorate the series’ birthday with an Instagram story. Alongside a series photo, he wrote: “Yes, I feel old. Thank you.”
