Who Is Sophia Bush? Wiki, Movie, Net Worth, 'One Tree Hill' And Facts To Know

For fans of Sophia Bush, life is incomplete without her being on the big screens and to her critics, please, feel free to spend the rest of their lives trying to bring her down. Trust us, however, because it's never going to happen. Bush is not only an actress, but she is also a director, a spokesperson, and an activist. This Thursday, she was trending because she defended her former costar, Hilarie Burton from the TV show, 'One Tree Hill' after Twitter and Instagram users said that they felt exploited by a girl power-themed fan convention. What did the fans expect from an activist? 35-year-old Sophia Bush was born in Pasadena, California. She is the only child of Charles William, an advertising and beauty photographer and her mother Maureen, the owner of a photography studio. The movie actress studied at Westridge School for girls, where she was a member of the volleyball team. Bush was also required to participate in the theater arts program and in an interview, she said that one of the requirements at her former school was to participate in plays. There was one instance when Bush was irritated because she was required to do a play yet she wanted just to go and play volleyball. After a performance, however, Bush realized that she had become someone else and realized that she could do plays for the rest of her life. The movie and television actress earned the title of Tournament of Roses Parade Queen when she was 17. After she graduated from high school, Sophia Bush attended the University of Southern California (USC) where she majored in journalism and became a member of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority. The actress has starred in movies and television shows like 'The Incredibles 2,' 'Chicago P.D.,' 'One Tree Hill,' 'The Hitcher,' 'John Tucker Must Die,' and 'Stay Alive' which have all given the actress a considerable net worth.

Sophia Bush came to her friend’s rescue to protect her from social media users on Instagram and Twitter who backlashed Burton for saying that she felt exploited by an upcoming ‘girl power” 'One Tree Hill' themed fan convention. Burton had been asked by a Twitter user known as Mary whether she would be attending any EyeCon events. She responded back by stating that she felt exploited by their ‘girl power’ angel which existed at the expense of some of them who had a really difficult time on the show. She said that they were using their sisterhood as a sales gimmick and that she wouldn’t attend any EyeCon to celebrate ‘the brave women of One Tree Hill.’ Many of you may have heard that 18 members of the cast and crew of the TV show, 'One Tree Hill' wrote a letter that was published by 'Variety' in November 2017 accusing Mark Schwahn of sexual harassment during the filming of the series that aired from 2003 to 2012. After Burton shared her opinion, she got backlash from EyeCon from speaking negatively about the theme and before the dust had settled, Bush quickly came to her defense. Sophia Bush said that Hilarie Burton was her sister and that she had a big heart, and that she was also brilliant and thoughtful. She then went on to state that she was also a human being who had feelings and she was supposed to be understood. Bush noted that Burton was entitled to her opinion because she never made silly statements in all the time that she knew her. She then warned everyone from bashing her fellow actress because she had witnessed her go through some hard situations.

If you meet Sophia Bush off screen, you will notice that she is both a bubbly and optimistic type of person. However, behind that smile, there are tears left after going through several tragedies in recent years. In 2011, she lost her cousin Christina-Taylor Green who died following an attempted assassination of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona. Green was only nine, and she was the youngest victim of all the six people killed by the shooter. Fourteen people in all were injured in the shooting. Her boyfriend, Dan Fredinburg worked as a Google program manager and he died in a tragic accident back in 2015 while climbing Mount Everest after an earthquake struck. Bush still talks about him to this day.

Bush parent’s named her after Italian movie star Sophia Loren. It’s Bush’s father who is the celebrity photographer that worked with Sophia Loren through ads and photo shoots. He even had his daughter Sophia Bush pose with Sophia Loren for advertising shots when Bush was growing up.

The actress has a net worth of $9 million dollars according to 'Net Worth Post.' She has built her net worth form starring in movies and television shows like 'The Incredibles 2,' 'Chicago P.D.,' 'One Tree Hill,' 'The Hitcher,' 'John Tucker Must Die,' and 'Stay Alive.'

We all can’t get enough of Bush, and if you want to get her attention, just attack any of her costars. Don’t say you were not warned.
