In February 2023, the Hulu star confessed he doesn’t"pay too much attention"to all of the hubbub surrounding his recent roles.
“My mom tells mewhat they’re saying on Twitter, which is nice,” he toldVanity Fair. “I’ve been acting since I was 18. I was on this show [Shameless] for 11 years that was popular, but I wasn’t getting as much attention then as I am now. I feel very lucky that everything’s been this gradual because I’ve been able to find my footing already.”
“I feel really bad for a young actor or somebody who just hasn’t had much experience when all of a sudden they break through; it could be more overwhelming in that case,” he continued.

The actor — who shares daughtersEzerandDoloreswith his now-estranged wifeAddison Timlin— added: “I probably wouldn’t have done well if I were single or without children or just younger and dumber. If you don’t have a foundation outside of your career, that can be a lonely existence.”
