Stephen Baldwin has been doing press prior to his appearance on Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test. During a recent conversation, the 58-year-old actor spoke about gearing up to spend the holidays with his new grandson, Jack Blues Bieber.
Stephen Baldwin Goes By ‘Grampy’
Jack Blues is Hailey and Justin Bieber‘s first child. The couple welcomed him in August and now they are preparing to spend their first Christmas as parents with a four-month-old. Baby Jack’s “Grampy” is excited for the holidays as well.
Speaking about the holidays, Stephen Baldwin said, “We’re getting ready for Christmas with Baby Jack Blues. We’re excited. And he’s grown like a weed. Actually, he looks like a little plump potato. He’s so cute. I can’t stand it.”
He stopped himself, saying, “I want to say so much.” However, the Biebers have been hush-hush about their son since his arrival. They’ve not shared any photos of the baby’s face and updates about them have been scarce since Baby Jack was born.
Baldwin was already a grandfather to Iris, who was born in August 2020. She is the daughter of Baldwin’s daughter Alaia and her husband Andrew Aronow. Iris was the one who gave him his name.
“Grampy. We’re going with Grampy. But it’s with a W. A lot of people don’t know that,” Stephen Baldwin told TooFab. “So G-W-A-M-P-Y is Gwampy. So that’s kind of the handle I’ve been going with. It was my granddaughter Iris, my first grandchild. It was the name she gave me.”
Grueling Experience on ‘Special Forces’
As mentioned above, Baldwin has been doing press for Fox’s Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test. Admittedly, the actor said the experience on the show was “messed up.” He also said it would take a lot of money for him to decide to do it again.
Laughing, he joked that joining the cast might be a way for him to “work with Nicole Kidman.”
Baldwin continued, “No, I wanted to do it because I thought, kind of stupidly, ‘How hard could it be?’ I really kind of thought, I’ve done some crazy stuff, I’ve raced motorcycles, I’ve raced cars, I jumped out of airplanes as a skydiver. And to do that on your own, you could do a tandem skydive, you could do kite surfing, you could do all these other aerial things. Skydiving is kind of the one where, you better know how to figure it out. But this was no way to figure it out.”
That said, he’ll be enjoying his time as Grampy and relaxing over the Christmas holiday. If fans are lucky, maybe a picture of baby Jack Blues Bieber will finally surface on the web.
