// The cast of 90210 is doing a photoshoot at the beach

Since moving to the “90210″ Zip code last season, bad boy Liam Court has gotten into plenty of fights, bedded older women and broken hearts.

But Matt Lanter, the 26-year-old Georgia native who plays the teen Lothario, doesn’t remember his high school days being anywhere near that dramatic.

“We were not that sexy and not that cool. A good time to us was maybe some beer and if someone had a hot tub or a pool at their house,” he told me during a recent phone interview. “These guys, they’re hanging out on hundred-foot yachts and going to the beach. Definitely not the life I lived in high school.”

Things don’t calm down for Lanter’s character when the new season of the CW drama kicks off at 7 p.m. Tuesday on WGN-Ch. 9. He’s trying to get back together with Naomi (AnnaLynne McCord) after being tricked into sleeping with her older sister, Jen (Sara Foster), but Jen is keeping them apart.

“Oh man, it gets worse. It gets definitely worse,” Lanter said of his character’s troubles. “I kind of feel like Liam and Naomi are going to be a power couple on this series. … Before they get together, if they do, I think there’s going to a lot ‘oh’ moments.”
