Spencer Pratt didn't set out to play a reality TV villain again. He just wants his old life back.
It's been a while since Spencer Pratt was truly a reality TV villain. He first made headlines as Heidi Montag's provocateur boyfriend on The Hills, but over the years, he's become an internet darling: Posting about his love for crystals and hummingbirds, speaking candidly about how his house burned down in the Palisades wildfire and supporting his wife's music career. Most recently, he competed in the new Hulu competition series Got to Get Out, which brings together 10 familiar faces (like Pratt and Omarosa Manigault Newman) in a mansion with 10 newcomers, making them all compete against each other. For 10 days the grand prize inches closer to $1 million, which they can split with their fellow contestants — or they can try to escape the mansion and run out with a portion of the winnings. Pratt knows that the way he behaved on The Hills made an impact on reality TV, but he told Yahoo Entertainment he thinks 'it's mainly just producers' who took inspiration from his behavior, rather than the on-screen talent. 'It's pretty basic, you know — you need an antagonist, and you need some type of drama, and you need somebody who's willing to do it,' he said. 'Back in the day, it was messages on a Blackberry. I'm sure nowadays producers text lines to whoever they know is down.' 'Producers know how to stir it up, and there's always somebody like me who's like, 'Oh, you're gonna pay me to say that? Sure! Deal!'' he said. In the first episode of Got to Get Out, Pratt takes a more passive approach than he has been known to take in the past. During a big confrontation between competitors and a traitor, he calmly reminds everyone that it's just a game. Of course, it could all be a ruse to lull people into a state of complacency. It's difficult to consider the career phase that Pratt is in right now without considering how he recently lost everything. 'That house was our stock; it was our bitcoin,' Pratt told the Cut in a February interview. 'Every dollar we've hustled for in the last nine years. The Hills reboot, anything that makes money on any social media, we put into this house.' With more people rooting for him now than they ever did at the height of his fame on The Hills or during his redemption era on social media, Pratt told Yahoo Entertainment that his goal is just to make 'enough to buy my parents a house, and my family a house again as soon as possible.' 'Whether that means I try selling used luxury designer purses on TikTok live, if that's going to do it, I'll do that. Hopefully, it's Heidi's music — going on a world tour,' he said. 'I'll help however I can with that. Maybe it's more television. Whatever it is, I don't care, I just want my old life back.' On the show — and during our Zoom call — Pratt wears a shirt with Montag's image on it. Her song, 'I'll Do It,' went viral on TikTok, hitting No. 1 on iTunes and, according to Pratt, topped the charts in 15 countries. Its success came in part from fans streaming her music in support of the loss of their home in January, and partially because social media loves to give attention to resurfaced earworms. 'I've been wearing these shirts for … six years or seven years,' he said. 'I've been wearing them for years because I always believed that her music was as good as it is now. There are people that are just supporting because they're trying to help us — then there are our real, pre-our-house-burning-down, real Heidi music fans. So I, like them, want to share in that part of pop music history.' He said it helps that they're comfortable and custom-made in Newport Beach, Calif. 'I work out in them. I sleep in them. I wear them every day,' he said. 'I just love repping Heidi.' Pratt said that before their house burned down, he had at least 200, and his closet was 'all black shirts.' 'Then, when our house was burning down, my evacuation bag — I even filmed it because I didn't think our house was really going to burn down — it was just Heidi shirts and like three pairs of shorts,' he said. Now he has at least 30 — though he's not sure if that's the exact number, because he likes giving them away. He keeps a clean one on hand for fans in his backpack at all times. 'This is the OG one — the [Superficial album] cover,' he said, showing his shirt on Zoom. 'They're all different Heidi-related graphics.' Catch Spencer Pratt and his shirts on Season 1 of which is now streaming on Hulu.

Heidi Montag & Spencer Pratt Share Honest Update After L.A. Fires
Originally appeared on E! Online and are living one day at a time. After the Hills alums tragically lost their Pacific Palisades home during the Los Angeles wildfires in January, Spencer didn't sugarcoat the couple's current situation. 'I'd say 'not good' is the honest answer,' he told E! News Feb. 22 at Training Mate's L.A. fire relief workout class in Santa Monica, Calif. 'The last two days have been the hardest for some reason. I don't know if Heidi was processing sooner than I was, and I was so focused on Heidi's music success that I didn't have time to think about our situation.' Fans have shown support for the couple—who married in 2009—by sending Heidi's 2010 album Superficial to No. 1 on iTunes, but the 'I'll Do It' singer admitted the weight of their loss still 'comes in waves.' 'It's still so fresh,' she noted. 'It seems kind of like old news to other people, but there's a long road ahead and it's gonna take years to get our life back. And hopefully we can.'

In fact, when Heidi and Spencer's son Gunner lost one of his prized possessions in the blaze, the pair were surprised by its significance to the 7-year-old. 'Our son, I didn't realize his favorite thing to look at every day was his photo from Universal Studios going down the Jurassic Park ride,' Spencer shared. 'I'm like, 'We'll go back,' but he's like, 'It's too scary. I'm never doing it again.' It was his big accomplishment.' As Heidi and Spencer—who also share son Ryker, 2—navigate their new reality, they're also committed to helping others affected by the disaster, which is why they partnered with the fitness studio to host the weekend workout class in support of several local organizations. 'It just keeps everything in perspective,' Heidi explained, while Spencer added, 'It's going to take so many people to really bring the Palisades community back and all the small businesses.' And their efforts to help their neighbors have not gone unnoticed. 'Heidi and Spencer have been the absolute pioneers of generating some positive outcomes of such a tragic incident,' Training Mate founder Luke Milton said. 'When the opportunity popped up through our group of mutual friends, we jumped at the chance. And anything we can do to help these guys in their endeavors to make the world a better place, we're just all in.' Keep reading to see what other stars have said about the Los Angeles wildfires.
