And you thought your boyfriend was oblivious. Chad Michael Murray apparently had no idea how drastic the Hilary Duff vs. Lindsay Lohan feud was when he brought Hil as his date for the Freaky Friday premiere. “I didn’t understand any of the real weight of what was going on,” Murray told Parade. “I don’t remember the timeline of when I learned about A, B, C, and D, but I loved hanging with Hil. We were spending time together, but I remember everybody saying, ‘Hey guys, we need you to spend more time together.’ We had a big kissing scene, we had the big dance scene, so there were a ton of nerves and we wanted to be comfortable. So I was like, ‘Well, let’s go to the premiere. Come on, we’ll hang out!’’’ Yeah, CMM, what’s the worst that can happen? A yearslong feud is being amplified by 100. Hey, at least it didn’t lead to Lohan making fun of Duff on SNL. Oh wait.
Duff ended up going because she wanted to stir the pot. She knew it would piss off Lohan, her “childhood nemesis,” as she told Alex Cooper on Call Her Daddy in February. Poor CMM, at least he has some comfort in knowing the beef is over now. “I found out right before we went inside that [bringing Hilary] was not the greatest idea,” Murray said. “But when you’re 19, you have no foresight. I didn’t think anything through. But everybody’s lovely, I loved them, and I think they have squashed all that junk.” They did make amends over shots at the club, as all good beefs should end. But who’s to say a love-triangle rom-com for Murray, LiLo, and Duff shouldn’t be in development? It’s millennial gold waiting to be mined.
