Mischa Barton confirmed that she dated her 'O.C.' costar Ben McKenzie in real life in the early days of filming the hit series, which 'set things off on the wrong foot' for her

“I went into that a virgin, a kid, really feeling like I needed to grow up quickly,” she recalled of her early days on the hit Fox series, where she was the youngest cast member. And that kind of really separated me, a little, from them, in the sense that I wasn’t out there living on my own in L.A. yet,” she said of her life compared to those of her costars, including Rachel Bilson, Adam Brody and Melinda Clarke.
