Former ‘One Tree Hill’ star Chad Michael Murray will not be bingeing the show any time soon.
In conversation with his former “One Tree Hill” costar Bethany Joy Lenz at this year’s Christmas Con, Murray explained why he’s put those years of his life behind him, according to PEOPLE.
“It’s a section of my life that I deleted. A lot of development, a lot of growth as a human being, and [I] just deleted so much of it,” he said. “I think we have hard drives, right? I’m probably like, you know when you get an iPhone that holds like 264 gigs? I’m down on a 32 gig phone because of old information, so booting everything up. So I think I’m deathly afraid.”

Lenz understood Murray’s feelings, saying she was “terrified” to rewatch “One Tree Hill” when starting the podcast “Drama Queens” with former “Hill” castmates Sophia Bush and Hilarie Burton-Morgan.
“Watching these things can really bring back all the memories, embarrassing moments, things you’re ashamed about, choices you made that you’re not proud of,” she said.
While he’s not firing up the old episodes, Murray always adores seeing his former castmates.
“We grew up together in a lot of ways, and so you’ll enter a room like this, and I could see Joy, Hilary, or anyone across the room, and it’s like, ‘Family!’ You can grab each other and feel a little bit safe, because it’s your crew.,” he said.
“One Tree Hill” aired from 2003-2012 on The WB and The CW.
