The actress, who played Peyton Sawyer on the hit teen drama, recently revealed that she and Jeffrey nearly met years ago, when he auditioned for the show. “Had [Jeff] shown up in those tight jeans that [Craig Sheffer] was wearing… I would have definitely had kids earlier,” Hilarie, 38, joked on this week’s episode of theDrama Queenspodcastwhile recapping theOne Tree Hillpilot with costarsSophia BushandBethany Joy Lenz.
As it turns out, Jeffrey auditioned to play Keith Scott, a local mechanic and the uncle of two of Peyton’s romantic interests. “When I met Jeff, he was like, ‘Oh, I auditioned for that show,'” Hilarie recalled. “And I’m like, ‘Wait, what?’ … He was like, ‘Yeah, I liked the whole gritty garage guy, that edgy thing.'”

“My son is probably going to be an actor. He has already dived into directing stuff and really loves it,” Hilarie said on this week’sDrama Queens.“And I don’t want him to do it until he has a real clear sense of who he is, because I was so wishy-washy, and I didn’t grow up in the industry the way he has. … Meanwhile, he’s like a pro now. I still don’t want him to do it until he’s 18.”
