Mischa Barton news 2014 have been released following the former "It Girl's" recent interview for Metro magazine, where she admitted she regrets doing the hit teen TV drama that shot her to fame a few years ago. The former lead actress of "The O.C." talked about depression, and rumors have also been circulating that the ex-teen queen is at risk of losing her dream Hollywood home.
A Mischa Barton news 2014 update reported via Daily Mail claimed that the 28-year-old will be returning to the UK this month to head a nationwide campaign to find Britain's most stylish vaper for e-cigarette brand VAPESTICK.
The project is a far cry from her popular portrayal of lead character Marissa Cooper in the hit series "The O.C.," a role that she admitted she regrets taking. Mischa Barton recalled how having found fame at a young age eventually made her suffer a very public downfall in her early twenties.
Mischa Barton explained to Metro that her role in "The O.C." was something she "came so close to not doing."
"I had a really great thing with film. People say be grateful for what you have but it certainly not the kind of thing I was expecting it to be... I've kind of seen it all," she says.
Daily Mail recalled how Mischa Barton starred in "The O.C." alongside Rachel Bilson as Summer Roberts, Adam Brody as Seth Cohen and Benjamin McKenzie as Ryan Atwood. Mischa Barton's character was killed off at the end of Season 3.
When asked if she would do it all again, Mischa Barton admitted to Metro: "probably not", saying how her fast rise to fame made her "depressed and overworked".
She admitted the pressure made her take on the bad habits of other teen stars who had issues involving alcohol and partying.
The Mischa Barton news 2014 as published in Metro recalled how the star got arrested in 2007 for driving under the influence. Two years later, Mischa Barton was sectioned and sent to rehab.
"It's tough. It's really tough when you are young in this business," Mischa Barton says. "People blow a lot of hot air at you. That's the main thing. Keep your head on your shoulders - even when you think your head is on your shoulders, sometimes it isn't!"
In a related Mischa Barton news 2014, the actress has reportedly been splitting time between London and her L.A. dream home - an eight-bedroom house TMZ says is worth over $8 million.
A report by People said the actress is allegedly close to five months behind on the mortgage payments for her Beverly Hills property, leaving her $100,000 delinquent.
The lender has placed Mischa Barton's property in foreclosure, meaning she could possibly lose her dream home - pending either an agreement or immediate payment.
