"Sometimes, you know, being an actor's son, your seniors sometimes bully you because you are a soft target. I think somewhere that also kind of hardens you. It prepares you for the world. I think it was a blessing only. I don't see it as 'Oh, I'm tormented by the fact that I was bullied'. But, I was bullied in school for being an actor's son, for sure."
