Why Christy Carlson Romano Is Posting 'CLICKBAIT' Videos

Christy Carlson Romano speaks with ET’s Deidre Behar all about her now-viral YouTube channel, where she spills secrets about her life, past traumas and the entertainment industry. The 37-year-old former Disney star explains how she’s reclaiming the word ‘clickbait’ with her videos, which address topics like her relationship with her ‘Even Steven’ co-star Shia LaBeouf, financial woes, losing out on opportunities to Katy Perry and Anne Hathaway, filming ‘Cadet Kelly’ with Hilary Duff and how she relates to Britney Spears’ conservatorship. The actress also explains how she conceptualized the format for her videos (a walk-and-talk conversation surrounded by nature). As for who’s behind the camera filming Romano, she plays coy and shares why she’s not willing to reveal that information. However, she subtly implies it may be her husband and producing partner, Brendan Rooney. Romano breaks down some of her biggest viral hits, including why she had to reshoot the video about her sobriety, and reveals the video that made her cry during filming. She also shares the topic she’ll never address on her channel. As for what’s next, the triple threat says she still loves being an actor, but while her daughters are young, she’s focused on making content that allows her to stay home.
