Aimee Teegarden plays Julie Taylor, the coach’s daughter and the quarterback’s girlfriend. Her character is an independent-minded vegetarian who rebels against her parents by getting a job, a car, and a really ugly tattoo. In real life, Teegarden joined the cast in 2006 when she was 16 and had some of her first romantic encounters on set. “As far as kissing and stuff,” she says, “it’s super awkward.” VF Daily sits down with Dillon’s favorite high-school junior.
VF Daily: Unlike some of the other cast members, you’re actually a teenager. What has it been like to grow up with your character?
We’ve gone through a lot of the same things together, like getting your first boyfriend and your first car. I never did the whole teenage-rebellion thing. Then, maybe the second year of the show, I was like, “Oh my God. It really does happen.” You just start saying things and you don’t even know why you’re saying them. It’s crazy. I’ve changed so much in the last three years, anyone can relate to that. The teenage years are ridiculously crucial and hard and, um, awkward.
