Brian Austin Green recently got candid and reminisced about the moment the cast of Beverly Hills, 90210 became aware of their stardom.
The 52-year-old American actor appeared on the Inside of You With Michael Rosenbaum podcast, where he revealed that the cast and crew of Beverly Hills, 90210 initially thought the show would not achieve success but they were proved wrong when the episodes started rolling out in the summer.
Green, who rose to fame with his portrayal of David Silver in the 1990 television series, articulated, “And then all of a sudden, the summer episodes. They started, they came up with this brilliant idea of doing these summer episodes. So, when all the other shows went into reruns, we had new original shows. So, when kids were out of school, they had something to watch that was brand new.”
“Everything changed within like a week and a half, two weeks,” he said.
When the show gained momentum, the Beautiful Disaster star was approached by three girls and one parent at a gas station.
“All of them were like, ‘Oh my god, are you on that show?’ And I was like, ‘Which show? Like, what do you, what do you mean?’ And they were like, ‘Oh, the the Beverly Hills one.’ I was like, ‘Oh, yeah, I am.’ They were like, ‘We love that show.’ And they left. And I remember thinking that was crazy, because I’ve never been in a gas station and had people know who I was that way,” Green recalled.
Notably, the turning point that made the cast completely realize the extent of their stardom came when they went to Disneyland’s Grad Night.
“We were on the Tomorrowland Terrace, the stage that comes up out of the ground … Wilson Phillips was performing. Another Bad Creation was performing. So we were down in the bowels of the stage,” he remembered, adding, “… Wilson Phillips were up performing ‘Hold On’ and all their hits.”
“And you could hear the crowd up above screaming. So, I assumed, ‘Oh, they’re doing another song. Like they’re doing an encore.’ … we had this stupid idea because we were kids of like, oh, ‘We’ll hide on the stage. So, when it comes up, nobody will be on it. It’ll be empty.’ So, we all like hid behind these things, these like foam blocks and s**** that they had. And the stage came up and then we all kind of popped out and the crowd went f**** bonkers,” Green explained.
Before concluding, it is pertinent to mention that Beverly Hills, 90210, which started on October 4, 1990, ended after 10 seasons on May 17, 2000.
