Chad Michael Murray reveals priorities for choosing roles has changed

Chad Michael Murray got candid about how his priorities for his future roles changed after he became a dad.

The One Tree Hill alum, 42, told Numéro about how becoming a dad to his three kids made him rethink about the kinds of projects that he took on.

“So very much. I would say, a lot of material, especially over the past 5 to 8 years since my son was born, I choose because I think one of the last things you really want is for your kids to be berated in school for what their parents are doing,” Murray told the outlet.

“I don’t want my kids going to school, being freshmen in high school, and Dad’s butt posted all over their locker. That’s not fair to them, so making decisions for that has been great.”

The Riverdale actor is dad to an eight-year-old son, a six-year-old daughter and a daughter he welcomed last August, whom he shares with wife Sarah Roemer.

Murray added that he is a “family guy” revealing that his family often travels with him when he has to film projects on different locations.

“When we are in Nova Scotia filming Sullivan’s Crossing, we’re all there. I get to work and I get to go home and play with the babies,” he said.
