In the resurfaced clip from Season 1 Episode 8, which aired in 2006, Sandoval makes a cameo that leaves a lot to be desired — and Lauren Conrad seems unimpressed
The clip, posted on Instagram by Bravo By Betches, shows Sandoval auditioning for MTV’s The Hills.
The hit series, which ran for six seasons, followed “a privileged group of beautiful people living in Los Angeles as they navigate the ups and downs of their friendships, careers and romances.”
And in the surfaced clip from Season 1 Episode 8, aired in 2006, Sandoval makes a cameo that leaves a lot to be desired.
During the episode, The Hills star Lauren Conrad and her colleague Whitney Port – who were working for Teen Vogue at the time – were told by their boss Lisa Love to do a model casting for an upcoming issue of the magazine, which Sandoval was attending .
The viral clip shows him sitting in front of a panel — Lauren included — in nothing but his swimsuit.
The star-to-be looks relaxed as he leans back and casually rests his arms on the chair.
The original audio is imperceptible, but other performances have revealed the scope of the conversation.
A member of the casting team begins by asking Sandoval, “How long have you been in LA?”
Other social media users were also quick to share their own thoughts – describing his appearance as a ‘jump scare’
The successful MTV series, a spin-off of the reality show Laguna Beach, premiered in 2006
Sandoval replies that he’s been there “about six months” before being asked if he likes it, to which he gives a somewhat lame answer, saying, “Yeah, it’s cool, absolutely.”
The interviewer presses him further, asking if he came to “act, model, the whole deal.”
And Sandoval once again shows little spunk, as he admits: “Yeah, quite a bit. That and music.’
The scene continuously loops back to Lauren Conrad’s face, who doesn’t seem overly impressed with the audition.
The clip had text overwritten that read, “Imagine knowing in 2006 that this random guy from a model casting on The Hills would end up causing one of the biggest scandals in Bravo history.”
And other social media users were quick to share their own thoughts.
One wrote, “To know that this man is at the heart of a scandal of this magnitude, BLOW MY MIND.”
Another added, “Lauren Conrad looks like she knew something was up LOL.”
And a third said, “I watched The Hills again this weekend and I forgot he was on it and it was a total jump scare.”
Heartbreak: Leviss and Sandoval sparked an altercation among the reality show cast when their infidelity was revealed, breaking the heart of the hunk’s girlfriend of nine years Ariana Madix, 37
It comes in the wake of Sandoval’s illicit affair with 28-year-old co-star Leviss. The couple broke up just two months after their illicit relationship came to light
It comes after Sandoval’s illicit affair with co-star Leviss came to light.
It ended his nine-year relationship with Ariana Madix — and Sandoval and Leviss themselves split just two months after the scandal came to light.
In the Series 10 finale of Vanderpump Rules, which aired earlier this month, Madix and Sandoval had an epic showdown over his infidelity.
‘Do you want anything?’ Sandoval asked Madix, to which she replied, “For you to die.”
“I regret every moment I stood up for you, defended you, supported you. You’re worthless and I want you to feel that deep in your soul,” she told him during the brutal conversation.
“I want you to hear those words from the mouth of the woman who f*****g stood beside you and loved you and was ready to build the rest of my life around you.
“Hear my words and know that this is how I feel about you. I’m sorry I ever loved you.’
It has since been revealed that contract negotiations for the Vanderpump Rules cast have been on hold due to the aftermath of the scandal.
