‘One Tree Hill’ was one of the most popular series of the early 2000 which, like any other product created for a predominantly teenage audience, included large doses of drama, love triangles and racy scenes. As a result, almost all the main actors had to take off their shirts to show off their abs in front of the cameras or kiss passionately with one of their co-stars.
What actress Hilarie Burton hated most about those scantily clad sequences was to show her feet because she often received letters from inmates who were obsessed with that part of her body. This correspondence started while she was working at MTV, before she took on the role of Peyton in the series, and it wasn’t even a sexual fixation.
“There were a couple of guys in Specifically, they told me things like: ‘I’m going to cut off your feet to keep them in my freezer’, he now recalled on the ‘Drama Queens’ podcast.
Hilarie’s great concern was that one of these men would think that she was “provoking” her if her feet appeared on television, so she always asked the directors who did not include them in the plane. However, she did end up sneaking into a second season episode in which she appeared in bed with actor Bryan Greenberg despite initially being promised that she would be eliminated in the final editing process.
