Dylan said: "Just to feel like I'm at home, the first thing I'll do is I'll make a soup and then I'll have it in the fridge for the first week that I'm there.

MTV

In an interview with TV Insider, Tyler reflected on Teen Wolf's legacy and why it continues to draw in new fans 10 years after the show premiered. He said: "I think Scott and Stiles [Dylan O'Brien] plays a big part in it because that dude and I are still best friends. I kick it with him all the time. He is the love of my life. And that was since day one, since the day we met in the audition process. It was like we were meant to be or we had met each other in a different life. We were both 18 years old, both wearing skateboard brand t-shirts, and I looked at him and I felt like I knew him. And he felt the same way. That's only gotten stronger over the years. I’m getting emotional, right now! [Laughs] Our relationship has only gotten stronger, the respect and the love. I think that played a big part in why the show is fun to watch because that relationship is the most authentic thing on TV."
