Many fans, especially girls, were drawn to Shawn’s haircut. However, Strong didn’t feel the same way. He wasn’t even allowed to change it at all.
“I hated my hair. I came to the audition with that hairstyle, got the part, and the director Michael Jacobs never let me cut it from there on out,” said the actor to Cosmopolitan. He added, “A bunch of girls at a sleepover told me to wear my hair like that—parted down the center—and I was 12, so I listened. It was my version of Christian Slater.”
Hating His Hair Didn’t Mean He Hated His Famous Leather Jacket
After the show wrapped up production, Strong went off with a nice souvenir. During a Boy Meets World reunion panel in 2013, the actor came clean as to what he stole.
“Disney wouldn’t let us take anything, but I had a leather jacket that I had bought on my own, and I swapped it.” Later on, someone stole the jacket from his car in Brooklyn. His co-star, Ben Savage, admitted to stealing a pair of shoes.
Scenes Between Eric and Shawn Were Limited
No, the two didn’t hate each other or anything like that. It had to do with being too funny while filming scenes. During the BMW panel reunion, Friedle came out in the open about what happened.
“They never let Rider and I do scenes together because we would look at each other and start laughing, so I think over seven years, we had, like, five scenes together.” As you can tell, they had fun with their jobs.
