Description

It’s a special bonus FRIDAY episode of Great Company!Chad Michael Murray is someone we all grew up watching - he was the teen heart throb I wished I was. I was a huge fan of One Tree Hill, Gilmore Girls and of course, Freaky Friday and as he was over to promote the sequel, Freakier Friday, I was delighted to get some time to chat to him…Chad opened up about feeling boxed in by stereotypes earlier in his career, and how having a family has taught him to free himself of others’ expectations. He tells me how an accident which resulted in months in hospital lead to his first big break. He also shared some excellent parenting adviceWe cover:- What is was like reuniting with Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis on set- Pressure of being a heartthrob- Wanting to leave a legacy- His imposter syndrome at a table read- Why being a dad is his proudest achievement.This conversation made me really excited to become a dad!Freakier Friday is out in cinemas now.If you enjoyed the show, you can also follow usInstagram - www.instagram.com/greatcompanypodcastTikTok - www.tiktok.com/@greatcompanypodcastAnd if you've got thoughts, questions and comments, you can email us at [email protected] CREDITSProducer: Helen BurkeVideo: Jake JiAudio: Rafi AmsiliSocial Media: Laura CoughlanExec Producer: Jemima RathboneGreat Company is an original podcast from JamPot Hosted on Acast.
