Chad Michael Murray has actually found out that where his Gilmore Girls character leads, the program’s fans will follow.
The 39-year-old One Tree Hill alum spoke with Today on Wednesday, July 7, where he thought back about his time as Tristin, the devil-may-care schoolmate of Rory Gilmore (Alexis Bledel) at Chilton Prep School on the fondly remembered series.
The star repeated on Gilmore Girls‘ very first 2 seasons, and while his character is possibly best kept in mind for describing Rory as “Mary” in a smarmy way, Chad exposed that fans in some way have absolutely nothing however beneficial impressions of Tristin.
“One response I always get about Tristin is how much they love him,” he shared. “They really do. I’ve never had anyone come up to me and say—which you would think I would receive all the time—no one has ever come up to me and said, ‘Tristin was a jerk. Why did you call her Mary?’ It never happened.”
