Spoiler Title: Why Joshua Morrow Called Son Crew Morrow “Idiot” In Recent Interview

Joshua Morrow, known for his iconic role as Nick Newman on The Young and the Restless, recently shared a hilarious story about his son, Crew Morrow, that fans won’t want to miss. Despite their tight father-son bond, Joshua admitted he once called his son “an idiot” — but it wasn’t what you might think!

Crew, following in his father’s footsteps, decided to pursue acting, and his father’s first reaction wasn’t quite what you’d expect from a proud parent. In a candid interview, Joshua revealed his blunt response to Crew’s ambitions: “Are you an idiot?” This wasn’t out of malice, though; Joshua, who’s been in the business long enough to know its challenges, was simply concerned about the harsh realities of the entertainment world. “This job is not easy,” Joshua explained, referring to the constant rejections and difficulties actors face.

Despite his dad’s tough-love approach, Crew quickly proved his father wrong. Within just two weeks of starting his acting career, Crew landed a few small roles, showcasing his natural talent. Fast forward to August 2024, and Crew secured a significant role as Will Spencer on The Bold and the Beautiful, earning praise for his performance and drawing comparisons to his father’s early days on-screen. Joshua even admitted that his son’s confidence and strong choices made him “so much better” than he was at the start.

While some might think Crew’s success is due to his father’s legacy, Joshua insists that it’s his son’s talent that truly shines. Now, with his first big soap role under his belt, Crew’s future looks promising, whether in soaps or beyond. As Joshua puts it, his son is no “idiot” — he’s a rising star.
