Barton does not miss her 'OC' role

Mischa Barton has revealed that she does not miss her character in The OC.

The actress played rebellious teenager Marissa Cooper in the hit US show for three years, but claimed that she found it difficult to relate to her alter-ego.

She said: “Marissa was a nut case. I didn’t have much in common with her. In New York I’d want to go out at 15 or 16, but I got it out of my system.”

She added: "Even if I was a precocious teenager, it’s a New York vs. LA thing. I never experienced the ‘anything goes’ chaos we sold on The OC.”

She also admitted that she had enjoyed filming the car crash scene which resulted in Marissa's death, saying: "You have no idea how much fun I had doing that [scene]. I was on the set, yelling, 'More blood! More blood!' She needed to go out with a bang.”
