Heidi Montag News 2016: Reality Star's Husband Spencer Pratt Says 'The Hills' Was 'Fiction' [VIDEO]
It's been almost 10 years since The Hills premiered on television and there's a lot that still gets misconstrued.
In Saturday's report from Us Weekly, reality star couple Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt looked back on their time on the series and how it's not quite what it appeared to be. Despite the fact that it was reality television, Pratt made it clear that it didn't revolve around anything truthful.
"You have people in the world who think it was real and treat you like everything on there was real," he said. "It's like if you were asking Harrison Ford about what it was like to make Star Wars, but you made him answer all of the questions as Han Solo! It's important for anyone who cares at all to understand...you were watching fiction. We tried to be entertaining, but it wasn't close to 'real.'"
Montag also mentioned that the series probably would not have done well if her husband hadn't been there to make it interesting.
"Early on the producers wanted real reactions within scripted moments but as time went on, we were in on the storylines," she said. "They needed our input in order for it to become a hit show. It didn't become a hit show until Season 2, when Spencer came on and started scripting everything."
Pratt also opened up on how he made his way into the series and how he didn't even know his co-star Audrina Patridge.
"[Brody Jenner and I] rolled up and got the table next to [Lauren Conrad and Heidi]...we had bottles of Dom," Pratt explained. "The thing with Audrina was a complete fabrication. I didn't know Audrina and she didn't know me. They just had us walk in together and Heidi got all worked up and boom...we were in the story."
