Posted by Mittie Cheatwood on Wednesday, June 5, 2024

According to InStyle, Chad Michael Murray still has a lot of love for his "Gilmore Girls" character, Tristan Dugray. In fact, the actor said he had a blast while filming the show, and holds the friendships that he made while on set as some of his most dear. "I actually really enjoyed Tristan. Everyone rooted for him. He was that guy that you wanted to be close to, but you knew you just couldn't be," Murray stated. "I think I was an infant when I was on 'Gilmore Girls.' I was 18 or 19 years old when I did the show, which is crazy to think that it was that long ago," he added, revealing that the role allowed him to become close with other actors such as Jared Padalecki (Dean) and Milo Ventimiglia (Jess).

Murray revealed that he made "great long-term friendships" with actors Padalecki and Ventimiglia, and said that they're still all friends to this day. "Seeing those guys really brings back old memories, and it brings up a time when we were young and just looking to see what the future would hold. So that's very, very, very cool," Murray confessed. When asked if he would rather live in the "Gilmore Girls" fictional town of Stars Hollow or the "One Tree Hill" town of Tree Hill, North Carolina, Murray revealed that the two places are very similar. "I do believe a lot less people got shot or drastically hurt on 'Gilmore Girls,' so let's go with that," he joked.
