When I’m wrong, I admit I’m wrong. I’ve been laboring under the idea that Brian Austin Green was idiot for the past 15 years or so. Turns out he’s a decent guy who understands who he is and seems to be genuinely in love withe Megan Fox.  He understands his cheesy 90210 past and embraces it and I love that.

He is definitely not the guy I thought he was, in fact he skews cool as hell in this new Details magazine interview.

On Why The New 90210 Isn’t Working:
I was just talking to the guy behind the bar, who said, “I used to love the original 90210 . . . the new one is not so good.” And my response is, “Of course not.” 90210 only worked because of that time period—because the world didn’t have access to a lifestyle like that. The Internet wasn’t what it is now. With TMZ and Paris Hilton wrecking cars and people being chased on freeways, there’s nothing interesting about Beverly Hills. Beverly Hills is nothing anymore.

On The Paparazzi, Then and Now: It wasn’t so much of a problem before Megan, but once Transformers hit, that was it. I had never experienced paparazzi on that level, because during 90210 they were still developing pictures and selling them by hand. It was a whole different experience.

On Knowing Too Much About Celebrities:
As someone who still loves movies and television, I honestly don’t want to know what Mel Gibson is like at home. I want to watch Braveheart. I don’t want any of the personal stuff. I’m not saying Mel’s choices are the best—obviously not—but it’s a shame that no one will enjoy a Mel Gibson film in the same way again. Mel made a business out of being nuts on camera, out of his f***ing mind. And it’s like, what, do you expect him to be totally normal at home? It’s not possible.

On Turning Megan Fox Into Instant-StepMom
She is absolutely my better half in parenting. She just gets it. It’s instinctual for her. She loves my son, Kassius. And from the time we started dating—you know, she was 18—she stepped in and took control. It’s unbelievable. At 18, I was like, “Hey, which club is open tonight? And how cool do my pants look? Can I sneak a drink across the bar without getting caught?”

On His On Again/Off Again Relationship With Megan Fox
We’ve been together for six years. Find a picture of one of us with any other boyfriend or girlfriend—I challenge you. You’ll only find pictures of her doing press with Shia LaBeouf or me with my son. That’s it. We never once dated anyone else or did anything else.
