Milo Ventimiglia is a repeat offender when it comes to dipping in the co-worker pool.
The “This Is Us” star dated co-stars Alexis Bledel (“Gilmore Girls”) and Hayden Panettiere (“Heroes”), but in hindsight has learned a thing or two about mixing business with pleasure. Panettiere was 18 when they got together, while Ventimiglia was 30. They split after two years of high-profile dating.
“Never do it again,” Ventimiglia told Mr. Porter when asked what he learned from his experience. “There are things that happen to you in your life that shape who you are. Everything I’ve been through from jobs to friendships to partnerships, everything has built me to who I am.
“You learn from it. You learn a better way of doing things,” he continued. “It wasn’t until my mid to late twenties that the job wears on you, relationships wear on you.”
Although the 40-year-old actor wouldn’t make the same mistake again, he also said he wouldn’t take any of it back.
“I wouldn’t change a thing,” he added. “When you get knocked over the head in life, it builds your perspective.”
