Chleb Ravenell had no idea what he was in for when he said «yes» to filming at least when it came to filming with his then-girlfriend, Kathryn Dennis.«When I met Kathryn, I didn't really know her 'character' on the show,» Chleb tells ET, referencing Kathryn's explosive behavior that's made for must-see moments over the course of the Bravo hit's eight-season run.

While Chleb clarifies that comment by saying Kathryn is who she is, on and off camera, navigating her «intimidating» personality around those cameras was a bit of a shock.«It took a bit of convincing [to film], because I played football and that was my sport,» he shares. «That's what I wanted to be known as, a football player.

And then to transition into something I don't know and have everybody in my life, was hard for me. Because when I met Kathryn, Kathryn was… I wouldn't say she was slightly depressed, but she kind of was depressed from the show.

So seeing that, I was just like, 'Oh my god, oh my god, what do I get myself into? Am I going to end up like this?'»Chleb faced a low moment pretty early on in his  experience, as Kathryn pulled the plug on their relationship.
