Some kids inherit their parents’ charm, and Chad Michael Murray‘s 10-year-old son is living proof that charisma runs in the family. The One Tree Hill heartthrob just shared the most adorable story about his confident, little boy’s unique approach to making friends – and it involves offering dad’s autograph and/or photo as the ultimate icebreaker.
During a recent Good Morning America appearance, the 43-year-old actor couldn’t help but laugh while recalling his son’s entrepreneurial social skills. The young charmer has figured out exactly what gets people’s attention, and he’s not afraid to use his famous dad’s name to strike up conversations.
Murray shared a particularly hilarious incident from their family vacation in Puerto Rico, where his son spotted some girls on the beach and decided to work his magic. Walking right up to them, the confident 10-year-old announced, “My dad’s Chad Michael Murray. I thought you might want to, you know, get a photo with him.”
While Murray admitted it was a “no-no” moment, his reaction was pure parental amusement rather than embarrassment. The actor, who shares three children with wife, Sarah Roemer, clearly sees his son’s boldness as both charming and concerning in the most endearing way possible.
What makes this story even sweeter is that the young boy isn’t seeking attention for himself – he genuinely enjoys connecting with people and has learned from watching his dad’s generous approach to fans.
The Buffalo native also shared that his son has been photographed “sitting with four or five college girls” during a University of Florida appearance, completely at ease chatting with everyone he meets. His confidence when speaking to women has clearly impressed his famous father.
Murray credits some of his son’s social ease to playing football, which has taught him how to connect with people who share his passion for the sport. The young athlete has learned that genuine conversation flows naturally when you find common interests.
