Can you believe it? Our biggest Teen Wolf dream is coming true. The pack are eager to
get back together and are having an honest-to-God reunion this summer! That’s right, most
of the pack will have a virtual reunion. Our all-time faves will lift our spirits and raise
funds for charity to benefit those who are helping fight the coronavirus pandemic.
So it’s high time we caught up with the Teen Wolf cast members. Let’s see how they
are doing in 2020, three years after the show ended, and almost a decade since its premiere.
Our idols had their hearts broken and healed. Some of the pack members are struggling to
re-launch their careers with something as big as Teen Wolf. Others risked their lives
on the set of new potential blockbusters. Don’t hesitate to subscribe to RumourJuice
YouTube channel, and let’s dive into the world of Beacon Hills once again.
Tyler Posey Teen Wolf’s leading man could have been
a very different shapeshifter. Did you know that Tyler auditioned for the role of Jacob
Black of the Twilight fame? The role eventually went to Taylor Lautner. Posey does not harbor
any ill will toward Lautner. He’s fine with rejection, as it’s one of the hazards of
being an actor. Another type of rejection actors (and all
of us, truth to be told) are familiar with is a relationship rejection. Posey was with
his childhood sweetheart, Seana, for a decade. They met when they were still pre-teens. In
2013, they announced their engagement. Their break-up happened the same year, too. Posey
has had several relationships since then, but they weren’t longstanding. Tyler says
he is focusing on work and just himself. And he is not sure if he is meant for a committed
relationship. At 28, Posey is best known for his portrayal
of Scott McCall. Teen Wolf definitely isn’t a bad name to be associated with! It’s just
that Posey is yet to make another meaningful breakthrough in Hollywood since his McCall
days. The horror flick Truth or Dare he's been in wasn't a success with critics, although
the movie was a box office success. As for his TV career, Posey filmed a pilot for CW’s
up-and-coming TV series Lost Boys, a TV adaptation of the legendary 1987 vampire movie. However,
a famous face attached to a widely-famous brand doesn’t mean you will always get what
you want. The CW was unhappy with the pilot episode starring Posey, and, well, Tyler’s
role has been recast. Oh, and when Tyler’s intimate photos were
leaked online in 2017, the actor was all chill about it. "I don’t care. It puts less stress
[on you] if you just brush it off," the actor said.
Crystal Reed Teen Wolf fans were crushed when Allison Argent
died. The fact that it was the will of actress Crystal Reed didn’t cushion the blow. She,
however, acted out of necessity. As much as she loved her character on Teen Wolf, Reed
got tired of playing a 17-year-old schoolgirl at the age of 29. That is why she reached
out to Teen Wolf creators. And they gave Allison a heartbreaking and unforgettable exit.
Reed has been married for three years, and has had a couple of relationships since then.
Most notably, she dated her Teen Wolf co-star Daniel Sharman. In 2019, the actress made
headlines for making a couple of suggestive posts about her Swamp Thing co-star, Maria
Stern. In particular, Crystal called Maria her girlfriend! The show was cancelled, unfortunately,
and any rumours of Crystal Reed’s relationships are yet to be confirmed.
Dylan O'Brien He showed up to his Teen Wolf audition unprepared,
clutching his resume that consisted of nothing but the links to his YouTube videos. Nevertheless,
Dylan managed to impress Teen Wolf creators. He gained recognition and huge fan following
thanks to playing best friend to Scott McCall, the titular Teen Wolf.
As the series progressed, O’Brien went from being Teen Wolf’s comic relief to a much
more serious and emotional character. In 2013, O’Brien was cast as the lead in
the popular young adult series, The Maze Runner. A terrible accident on the set of the popular
film trilogy almost ended O’Brian’s life, talkless of his career. O’Brien was filming
a scene that required him doing a stunt. Dylan wasn’t forced to perform his own stunts,
but he still did it! This proves how dedicated he is to his craft. Tragically, certain things
went terribly wrong - O’Brien and the filming crew are keeping mum on the details - but
the actor was seriously injured. The Maze Runner series were ultimately completed featuring
the heroic Dylan O’Brien. The actor then went on to star in action thriller
American Assassin. But he was never sure if he would return to acting following his severe
injury and following psychological effects. His girlfriend at the time, actress Britt
Robertson, was by his side as he was recuperating. "My girlfriend was with me every step of the
way, even in my hospital bed, she's a saint," O'Brien told People in 2017. A year later,
however, the two broke up. As far as we know, Dylan O’Brien’s current
main love interest is us, the Teen Wolf fans!
Tyler Hoechlin Tyler Hoechlin, now 32, starred as Derek Hale
in our favourite series. True to his shapeshifting nature, once the Teen Wolf was over, the actor
turned into Superman on CW’s Supergirl. His most lengthy relationship to date is with
filmmaking - as he ultimately broke up with his girlfriend, actress Rachele Brooke Smith.
“My girlfriend and I never let each other forget how much we love each other. It’s
all about reminding the other person how important and special she is to you,” Tyler gushed
in an interview… And then, the news of them breaking up emerged.
His main take-away from his relationships? Don’t forget to communicate. “If there
is something bugging you, instead of trying to pretend like it’s not, it’s better
to make it known and deal with, as opposed to letting it turn into something bigger.”
Thanks, Tyler!
Holland Roden Life imitates art… or is it the other way
around? Anyway, the saying is true for Teen Wolf’s Lydia Martin. She starts off as a
ditzy and kind of shallow character. But the thing is, she is hiding her true identity
of a very smart and advanced young lady… and a banshee, but that’s a story for another
time. Roden is similar to her character: not only is she an outstanding young actress,
she is also supernaturally smart. She’s a University of California graduate who studied
biology and women's studies. Roden was looking forward to becoming a surgeon before taking
up acting full-time! The actress is currently single. She is focused on her acting career.
Colton Haynes Just like his character within the Teen Wolf
universe, Colton Haynes has struggled with some psychological issues. Jackson Whittemore
started off as Lydia's boyfriend and later re-appeared in the series having a relationship
with Ethan, another werewolf. Post-series, the actor had to take a break to deal with
depression and anxiety, something that he’s been battling since as early as 5th grade.
In 2016, Haynes made the brave decision to publicly come out as gay. In the run of just
two years, Colton lost his mother and sister. The actor eventually opened up about his struggles
and alcohol and drug addiction. "In 10 years, there were maybe 25 days I didn't drink. I
remember when I started, it was a couple glasses of wine, and it regressed into really dark
times." For a while, Haynes was happy with his partner
and husband, celebrity florist Jeff. The two parted ways in 2019. Despite everything, Haynes
emerged a winner, and we sincerely hope he will continue walking this path.
Shelley Hennig As the actress herself has put it in a recent
interview, she’s played quite a number of teenagers. Miss Teen USA, Stephanie Johnson
on Days of Our Lives, Blaire Lily on Unfriended, Malia Tate in Teen Wolf, among others. And
while the 33-year-old actress is proud of all of them…
“I’ve made a career playing a teenager for a decade while being an adult, and though
I loved it, I think I have finally graduated,” Hennig says.
She keeps her personal life under wraps, but has famously dated the O.C. and Gotham actor
Ben McKenzie. Currently, Shelley is observing quarantine like the rest of us, and enjoys
communicating with her 2.8 million followers on Instagram.
Max and Charlie Carver Twins in real life, twins on TV! Max has been
on ABC TV series Desperate Housewives, HBO’s The Leftovers, and, of course, Teen Wolf.
In all of the shows, Max’s twin brother Charlie portrayed his twin. And yet, the brothers
who play Ethan and Aiden actually have different birthdays. How is that possible? Charlie was
born on July 31st and Max was born on August 1st, with just a seven-minute difference.
In 2016, Charlie came out as gay and has subsequently opened up about experiencing sexual harrassment
in Hollywood. Luckily, he says, he wasn’t too traumatized, but learned a valuable lesson.
"This will hopefully open up a discussion about men and power dynamics in general — maybe
it has to do with exerting masculinity," the actor said.
Charlie and his supportive brother Max are enjoying their Hollywood journey. According
to the AV Club, the twins were cast in the upcoming Batman movie, alongside star Robert
Pattinson, Zoë Kravitz’s Catwoman, and Colin Farrell’s The Penguin.
Arden Cho Kira Yukimura moved Beacon Hills as monsters
from Japanese mythology started to plague the lives of her new classmates. In real life,
Cho was happy with Ryan Higa, a popular YouTuber… But their relationship did not last, unfortunately.
Originally, their break-up seemed to be a clean one. Then, the cheating rumours started.
Cho posted lyrics to her own sad song that included the following words:
"I hate you / and all your lies. Makes me wish I could turn back the time / to a better
day before I called you mine". The ex in question, however, denied those rumours.
Arden made a bittersweet joke recently, hinting at her singledom: “I should have started
dating someone right before COVID 19 and the lockdown. [Would have] been nice to be trapped
at home with no work in ‘honeymoon stage’.“ Cheer up, Arden!
