Laguna Beach Cast Who Are Still Friends
Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County was one of the 'it' series in the '00s.The show, which premiered in 2004, was centered around the life of eight teenagers in the coastal city of Orange County. Laguna Beach was the show to watch; living by the beach, throwing bonfires, and rocking Hollister fit suddenly seemed like the most incredible dream for high schoolers. The show aired on MTV, and though loved at the time, some aspects of Laguna Beach have not aged well.
The show held viewers spellbound for three seasons before moving on to its first spinoff, The Hills, which focused on the life of Lauren Conrad as she navigated a career in fashion. While some original cast of Laguna Beach continued in the spinoff series, others pursued a path outside of reality TV. Growing up into adulthood and following different paths brought a divide among the cast members who were once friends. These Laguna Beach cast are still friends almost two decades after the show aired.
