Nepo Baby Lands Role on Dad’s Show – You Won’t Believe What Happened Next!

BBG News

Ryan Phillippe is extremely excited about the recent cast selection for his upcoming TV show, Motorheads, streaming on Amazon Prime.

Ryan plays a former NASCAR mechanic named Logan, whose brother Christian disappeared 17 years ago. 

In the flashbacks, it’s Deacon, aged 21, who portrays Christian, Ryan’s brother. Ryan is overjoyed about collaborating on this project with his offspring, a connection he shares with his former spouse, Reese Witherspoon, at the age of 49.

The original concept came from the showrunner. He approached me and suggested that my son might be considered for the part of young Christian in the flashback scenes. This took me by surprise. [He shared this with the New York Post.]

Inside, I was yearning to say, “Please!” However, I desired to maintain a composed demeanor and allow them to figure things out on their own, without my involvement.

In response, I suggested, “If so, go ahead and give it to him, let’s see his reaction.” Then, Ryan Phillippe, known for his role in Cruel Intentions, expressed his enthusiasm by saying, “Oh, what a delight!

Motorheads is Deacon’s second role. His first was in Netflix’s Never Have I Ever. 

In a new twist, the series Motorheads centers around two high school students, Zac (Michael Cimino) and Caitlyn (Melissa Collazo), along with their mother (Nathalie Kelley), who return to her old Rust Belt town. This seemingly ordinary place is where an exciting street race culture flourishes.

They have a strong bond with their uncle, Logan (Phillippe), who was once a NASCAR mechanic and is currently grappling with keeping his auto body shop running smoothly.

17 years past, Logan’s younger sibling, known as Zac, held fame as a father and was an icon in the world of street racing. However, his disappearance under enigmatic conditions left behind an air of mystery.

In different words, ‘Ryan shared with The Post that although we didn’t act together on screen, he played my on-screen brother. This led us to discuss, in a room with John the showrunner, what our childhood would have been like if we had grown up together – an extraordinary experience to share with my son,’ Ryan explained.

Ryan was present during Deacon’s filming session as a backup, ready to guide him through the process, answer questions, and provide insights into standard procedures.

He reminisced about being present during his initial nighttime filming session, where I saw him looking tired at 3 a.m.

‘So, it did feel like a shared experience, even though we weren’t on-screen together.’

Currently, Ava Phillippe, Ryan’s daughter with Reese, aged 24, is deeply involved in a significant conflict with her father.

It’s been disclosed by The Daily Mail that Ava has intentionally distanced herself from her father for over two years now, as they have not met during this period.

In my expert opinion, I can share that he’s not part of my daily interactions nor do I frequently bring him up. From what I understand, Ryan has been absent from the role of a paternal influence in my life for quite some time now.

However, their relationship wasn’t always under such tension; past interviews and social media posts have highlighted a deeply inspiring connection between them instead.

In 2018, Ryan’s ex-girlfriend, Elsie Hewitt accused him of assault in a $1 million lawsuit.

In my own account, I assert that Ryan visited my residence in Los Angeles and ended up forcing me down the staircase before delivering several blows and kicks.

Additionally, she asserted in the court document that his behavior was influenced by substance use – drugs, alcohol, and steroids – leading to unpredictable mood changes and explosive temperament.

In a recent turn of events, Ryan rejected the accusations and underscored his commitment towards women’s equality movements such as feminism and advocacy. It’s worth noting that the lawsuit against him was resolved outside of court in 2019, merely days before the scheduled trial date, with the exact settlement amount remaining confidential.

Despite the actor’s persistent denials, our source claims that the allegations had a noticeable effect on Ava, who is known for her strong advocacy in areas such as body positivity, mental health, and LGBTQ+ rights.

2018 saw a significant turn for the worse when allegations of abuse against him by an ex were made, according to our source. The source also mentioned that they find Ryan’s behavior towards women deeply disturbing and offensive.

According to our source, although Ryan maintains a strong bond with Deacon, Ava no longer follows him on social platforms and shows no inclination towards his friendship with her sibling.

Since our last encounter at Deacon’s album release party back in April 2023, I haven’t had the chance to cross paths with them personally.

At the event held in West Hollywood, neither photograph nor image showed the father and his daughter side by side.
