Ryan Phillippe has shared he is ‘so proud’ of his and Reese Witherspoon’s son Deacon, who is making his acting debut in series three of Never Have I Ever.
Mindy Kaling’s Netflix series is returning for its penultimate season, and fans can’t wait to see Devi Vishwakumar (Maitreyi Ramakrishnan) and Paxton Hall-Yoshida’s (Darren Barnet) relationship heat up.
Along with newcomer Anriduh Pisharody, Deacon is also joining the Never Have I Ever cast, and his dad is gushing with pride as he follows in his parents’ footsteps.
Ryan gushed: ‘I am so proud.’
But the 18-year-old is actually more focused on his music than acting, and in 2020, Deacon released his debut single, Long Run, a duet with pop star Nina Nesbitt.
His dad shared that Deacon is attending music college, adding to Entertainment Tonight: ‘That’s his primary focus. The acting thing he likes to do, and he will do according to what his appetite for it is, but his focus is primarily music.’

Meanwhile, the Legally Blonde actress shared a series of pictures of Deacon over the years, penning: ‘How did this happen?!! @deaconphillippe is 18?!
