Baby Daddy's Jean-Luc Bilodeau: I Thought I'd Be a Young Dad

Jean-Luc Bilodeau lays across the front seat of a vintage car in this shot from his feature for Da Man magazine‘s February/March 2014 issue, out on newsstands now.

Here is what the 23-year-old Baby Daddy actor had to share with the mag:

On how playing a single father changed his perception of parenthood: “Working with babies every day made me realize that it’s one of the hardest jobs out there. I always knew it wasn’t a piece of cake. They are attention-suckers. I always thought I’d be a young dad, but this show was a reality check.”

On his friendships with co-stars Derek Theler and Tahj Mowry: “Very close. So close that me and Derek actually live together now. I feel like our real chemistry is why people enjoy watching our show. It’s uncommon for a cast to work this closely week-to-week and still love each other. Our friendships will last much longer than the run of Baby Daddy.”

On his ideal project: “I would love to play Jim Carrey‘s son in a comedy. He’s the reason why I am an actor. My mom got me an agent because I would constantly walk around the house imitating Ace Ventura. I think comedy is where I’ll stay for a while.”
