If my dad was a producer, you know damn right I'd be getting my written-by-me-when-I-was-6 unicorn self-insert fanfic movie, just like he's gotten to pretend to be 16 for the past...40 years it looks like?

I was shocked when it said he was 28! Damn son, you look 40.

I'm lolling that he's all uptight about it too. "At least they're not criticizing my acting"...uh, buddy, you are NOT a convincing teenager PERIOD. A better actor would know he doesn't look the part to save his ass and let someone more age appropriate play the role instead of being a entitled brat whose daddy had to produce hire him.

He only got the Broadway gig because his father produced La La Land and Dear Evan Hansen is the same guys as La La Land. Dude, you're the textbook definition of nepotism.

i honestly truly thought he was 35 until last year. I'm 33 and he looks wayyyy older than me.

Hun, I don't know what you look like but I'm betting he looks older than your parents.
