Joshua Morrow and his son, Crew Morrow, are easily one of the funniest father-son duos out there, and fans love seeing them together.
But recently, Joshua revealed a time when he thought his son was an idiot — and no, it’s not what you think. Stick around to find out.
Hey everyone, welcome to Trend Street!
The Young and the Restless star Joshua Morrow has been winning fans over as Nick Newman for decades now.
But off-screen, Morrow plays his most important role ever — being a dad.
As most of you know, his son Crew Morrow followed in his father’s footsteps and joined The Bold and the Beautiful.
That sounds exciting, right?
Well, not for Joshua — at least not at first.
In fact, his initial reaction was to call his son an idiot.
But don’t worry — it was just classic dad honesty.
When Crew decided he wanted to get into acting, his dad’s response was less “supportive cheerleader” and more “brutally honest mentor.”
In an interview with Woman’s World, Joshua admitted that his first words to Crew were:
“Are you an idiot?”
No filter. No sugar-coating.
But Joshua wasn’t being mean — it was more about concern.
He knows how tough the business is:
“This job is not easy. It’s just a bunch of people telling you no. It’s awful.”
Despite the warning, Crew had some luck on his side.
Within two weeks of starting his acting journey, he booked a couple of small roles.
While they weren’t major, he was already working — more than many aspiring actors can say.
Fast forward to August 2024 — and Crew proved he wasn’t an idiot at all.
He landed the role of Will Spencer on The Bold and the Beautiful.
He jumped right into the soap world, with plenty of screen time and positive reactions from fans.
Some fans even say Crew reminds them of Joshua back in the day — something Joshua has noticed too:
“Close your eyes and listen to his voice. It’s the same,” he said.
“But frankly, he’s so much better than I was. He’s making such strong choices and he’s so confident.”
That’s a proud dad moment.
Of course, people questioned if Crew got the role because of Joshua’s legacy.
But Joshua doesn’t believe that:
“Maybe my name got him in the door, but they’re never going to hire him just because I’m over here.”
Crew’s acting speaks for itself — he’s talented, funny, and confident.
With his first big soap gig in the books and his dad cheering him on (even if he teased him at first), Crew’s Hollywood future looks bright.
Whether he stays in soaps or explores other roles, one thing’s clear:
Joshua Morrow’s son is no idiot — he’s a rising star.
📝 Summary:
Joshua Morrow (Nick from The Young and the Restless) jokingly called his son, Crew, an “idiot” when he said he wanted to pursue acting — not out of cruelty, but out of concern for how tough the industry is. Despite the warning, Crew quickly landed acting roles and, by August 2024, secured a major part as Will Spencer on The Bold and the Beautiful. Joshua proudly admits that Crew is already a better actor than he was at that age and emphasizes that Crew earned the role on his own merit, not because of his dad’s fame. Fans are loving Crew, and his future in Hollywood looks very promising.
