Audrina Patridge thinks Justin Brescia is always "in character".
Despite dating her hunky 'The Hills' co-star on-and-off for over four years, the 25-year-old beauty claims she never really got to know the real Justin because he was always playing out a different part for her and the cameras.
Audrina - who split from Justin, who was known as Justin-Bobby on the series, for good earlier this year - exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I don't see him anymore, no. I saw him at the finale but that was it.
"I feel like every time I see him, he looks like somebody different. He is attractive. But it's like he's always in character."
The former couple's on/off romance was heavily featured in the MTV reality show, with their frequent break-ups and make-ups keeping fans tuning in week after week.
However, Audrina says the constant camera presence put a huge strain on their relationship, and she wishes they hadn't been as open about their romance.
She said: "It was really hard. That's one bit of advice I'd give anybody about to appear in a reality show - don't bring anyone that your dating onto the show if you really like them. It just makes it awkward, because when you're on camera, it's almost as if you're having two different relationships. That's what started happening to me. Two or three months later they'd show those episodes where I was talking to the girls about what happened, then he'd be like, 'I can't believe you said that!' And it causes a fight, because of that."
Rows between the pair often escalated in front of the cameras, and Audrina admits she would have done anything for some privacy.
She explained: "Oh I would try to run away from the cameras and they would chase me. There's no getting away from them. I would take my mic off and shout, 'Stop, go away'. But there was nothing I could do. I signed the contract."
