During an interview on The Happy Hour radio show, Taylor explained that the fame that came with the series was daunting to navigate.

“I was always incredibly thankful, and feel super blessed for what it brought me, but maybe there was a little bit of, like, resentment deep in there going like, ‘I wish I could have just experienced this part of normalcy,’” he said. “Now, I wouldn’t change it. But I think it needed the growth to get to that place.”

He reiterated that he “needed the space” to look back on the experience as fondly as he does now.

Taylor has previously opened up about the “absolute nightmare” of a diet he was on for the franchise and revealed how his relationship with Robert was impacted by the roles they played.
