Los Angeles, March 14 (NationPress) Hollywood actor Jack Quaid, known for his role as vigilante Hughie Campbell in “The Boys”, is currently filming the final season of the superhero series in Toronto, describing the experience as “bittersweet”.
In an interview with Extra, he stated: “I'm working on Season 5 of ‘The Boys’ right now. I'm in Toronto. It's our last season. It's going to be very bittersweet, but we're about halfway done shooting and it's going to be awesome. I'm just going to miss everybody.”
The 32-year-old actor believes that fans will appreciate the conclusion of the series.
He remarked: “It's gonna be an incredible last season. I think it's a really great payoff.”
Jack, the son of Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan, has previously acknowledged feeling “immensely privileged” due to his status as a “nepo baby”, which he feels has afforded him advantages in his career, as reported by femalefirst.co.uk.
When discussing the term “nepo baby”, he told The Daily Beast: “I'm inclined to agree. I am an immensely privileged person, was able to get representation pretty early on, and that's more than half the battle. I knew the door was open for me in a lot of ways that it's just not for a lot of actors.”
“And I've just tried to work as hard as I possibly can to prove that I deserve to walk through that door. So if that's in the rom-com space, it's got to be different enough, and I need to work...”
Jack's mother previously defended him against the “nepo baby” label, and while Jack can understand her perspective, he doesn’t believe it diminishes his talent.
He expressed: “My first thought was like, she's being a mom. She's being a loving mom. But I don't think she's trying to say that I'm not a nepo baby. I think she's just trying to say that, in her opinion, it undermines my talent. I don't think it undermines my talent.”
“I know that I work hard, and I know I've heard 'no' way more than I've heard 'yes.' But I also know that this industry is insanely hard to break into, and I had an easier time doing that than most. Both things can be true. So no, I don't think she was trying to say that I'm not a privileged person. She knows. She must know. I think she was being a mom.”
