‘You‘ star Penn Badgley was on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon this past week, and during his interview, he talked a lot about his 2-year-old son, who he shares with wife Domino Kirke.
He wanted to send a message to all the pandemic parents out there… it gets better!
Well, he’s a pandemic kid, so anybody who has kids, it’s a joy. It’s an immense — I mean, it’s wild. It’s lovely. It’s great. It’s a challenge. Shout out to all the parents. It gets better.
It’s not easy. There have been lots of studies around pandemic babies and they definitely have some unique traits to them.
Fallon asked Badgley if his son knows he plays a serial killer on television, and that’s when the 36-year-old actor shared a pretty funny story.
There was recently a day when I was doing something sweet with him, on my lap. And then I sat on the remote. You wouldn’t think this, but it goes right to Netflix on the TV, and my face was right on the TV. And he was like, ‘Daddy!’ while I started to race around because the next thing he was going to see was something really crazy.
… yikes! That would not have been good. The poor baby has already lived through a pandemic! He doesn’t need to see his father killing people on the TV.
