'Beverly Hills, 90210' alum Brian Austin Green lacked 'confidence' to fix 18-year-long rift with Tori Spelling The 52-year-old actor shares how the former co-stars managed to mend their friendship after a nearly two-decade fallout Though Brian Austin Green and Tori Spelling were once inseparable through much of their young adult lives, the "Beverly Hills, 90210" alums ultimately drifted apart, losing touch for nearly two decades - a period Green now admits was marked by a lack of "self-confidence." In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, Green - who was set to co-host the ultimate ’90s After Dark Party with Spelling at Voltaire at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas on Dec. 28 before Spelling postponed the event due to illness - reflected on their decades-long friendship, the 18-year silence that followed, and the personal growth that ultimately brought them back together, stronger than ever. "Tori and I have a really special, unbelievable bond," said Green, who portrayed Spelling's onscreen love interest, David Silver, in the beloved 90s series for 10 seasons. "We are a month apart in age. We were the youngest on the show. We did everything together because that was sort of David and Donna (Martin). That's how everybody booked it. All the trips, all the press stuff, all the things, it was always the two of us." Brian Austin Green said he lacked "self-confidence" during the nearly two-decade-long rift with Tori Spelling.

"We've talked about it, and we've gotten into it a little bit, but life is just complicated and things just sort of happen sometimes when you're in them. And we were so young that we weren't strong enough in ourselves to reach out to the other person and go, 'What the f--- is going on?' I didn't have enough self-confidence to do that and be willing to hear something I had possibly done wrong. It was easier. Ignorance is bliss in a situation like that."

During an appearance on Green's podcast, "Oldish," last year, the former co-stars reflected on the sudden end of their friendship. "I remember crying that we were going to lose touch because we were so close. It was almost like going through a divorce or something," she said. "I remember you said, 'We're always going be together. We're even all going to go on vacations together.' And that was the last time we spoke for 18 years." Spelling and Green are best known for playing onscreen love interests, David Silver and Donna Martin, in "Beverly Hills, 90210."
