Chad Michael Murray's youngster has embraced the fairy tale narrative of his father's life, quite literally. The former 'One Tree Hill' heartthrob revealed that his 10-year-old son, whom he shares with wife Sarah Roemer, has astutely learned to leverage his dad's fame to strike up conversations with the fairer sex. Speaking on 'Good Morning America' on July 29th, Chad mused, "It's a privilege to bring joy to others through something as mundane as a photo or autograph. Hence, I often find myself posing for pictures with fans in public."
His son, whose name remains undisclosed to the public, has keenly observed that his father's admirers tend to skew younger and female. With a wink, Chad quipped, "He's well-aware of his dad's target demographic."
This newfound awareness has led to some cringe-worthy moments for the 43-year-old actor. Chad recounted an embarrassing anecdote from a family vacation in Puerto Rico, where his son, armed with this knowledge, approached a group of young women in bikinis. "I wasn't there, but he saw these girls and walked over, saying, 'My dad's Chad Michael Murray. Do you want a photo?'" Chad chuckled, adding that his initial reaction was a resounding "oh no, no, no, no." However, he conceded that his son's confident demeanor would likely have him approaching women regardless of his famous lineage. "He's incredibly assured when speaking to females," Chad said, reminiscing about another amusing incident where his son charmed a group of college girls at a University of Florida event, captured in a photo where he sat comfortably amidst their adoring circle.
As for their 8-year-old daughter, she's not quite as bold when it comes to interacting with Hollywood stars. Chad recently shared that she was completely "starstruck" when meeting his 'Freaky Friday' costar Lindsay Lohan. "She just had that moment, mesmerized because she had just met Lindsay," Chad impersonated his daughter's awe-struck expression for E! News at the sequel's premiere on July 22th. "She's usually not like that," he added, marveling at the surreal experience of seeing movie icons in real life.
