Hilary Duff admits she NEVER saw Laguna Beach, despite her song Come Clean serving as the theme for the MTV reality show
The Hilary Duff song may have been the show’s theme, but the How I Met Your Father actress never saw Laguna Beach.
The 35-year-old actress revealed she was unable to watch the show while it aired because her touring schedule kept her so busy.
Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County, better known as Laguna Beach, ran for three seasons beginning in 2004 and ending in 2006.

The reality show followed the lives of several Laguna Beach High School students and launched the careers of Lauren Conrad and Kristin Cavallari.
Duff’s song Come Clean, released in 2003, served as the show’s theme song during its run.
“In a moment when you couldn’t record TV shows, I was on tour,” Duff said on Watch What Happens Live. “So I missed a lot of the big things that people talk about that I didn’t get to experience. And then my song was the theme song and I loved that because I lived on MTV for a while.

Although Watch What Happens Live host Andy Cohen suggested the song made Duff rich, she was quick to clear it up.
“I definitely didn’t get super rich because they used it as a theme, and I’m not going to pretend to know what’s going on in the background for them to use it,” she said. “But they used it.”
Duff has released five studio albums since 2000, with the last coming out in 2015. Their second album, Metamorphosis, was their most commercially successful and was certified triple platinum according to the Recording Industry Association of America.
