Christy Carlson Romano couldn’t be an older sister to Shia LaBeouf when the cameras stopped rolling. Although the duo played siblings on Even Stevens for three years, the actress revealed that their onscreen bond never translated to a real-life relationship. "It was dysfunctional at best," Romano—who was 16 when the show began airing on Disney Channel in 2000—told E! News in an exclusive interview. "It was a little competitive at times. He was a very ambitious child. He really needed to become famous because his home life was really complicated." Romano posited that LaBeouf—who was 14 when he took on the role of Ren’s younger brother Louis Stevens—struggled with the idea that they were both leading the three-season show. "Initially it was going to be his show," the 42-year-old shared. "That’s what fueled his ambition, his competitive streak, and it’s unfortunate because I did come to understand that he had this complicated relationship with his dad." "At the same time," she continued, "I wanted to be there for him, but I knew that I could never really fully be there for him because we had this work-life imbalance."
