Owen Vaccaro stars opposite megastars Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg in their new movie, "Daddy's Home," and the 10-year-old didn't break a sweat acting in such a major motion picture.
"I feel that theater is more nerve-wracking than filming," the confident young actor told Headlines & Global News in an exclusive interview. "I'm used to theater, so it wasn't as bad because you get a lot of takes."
"Daddy's Home" stars Ferrell as a conservative, straight-laced stepfather whose world is turned upside down when his wife's (Linda Cardellini) wild and fun-loving ex-husband (Wahlberg) rolls back into town to visit their two kids, son Dylan (Vaccaro) and daughter Megan (Scarlett Estevez).
Now, Vaccaro is back in Georgia attending his regular school. He spends his days playing with his little brother, jumping on his trampoline and playing video games. His favorite is "Minecraft," although he enjoys an all-night "Rock Band" jam.
"I'm still a normal kid," Vaccaro said. His friends still see him that way too and not as some big Hollywood star. "It's not going to change with them."
