A ‘Teen Mom’ kid has set his sights on the entertainment industry!
On this week’s episode of Baby Mamas No Drama podcast, Jo Rivera filled in for his baby mama Kail Lowry and podcasted with his wife Vee Torres. During the episode (which was essentially the podcast-equivalent of ZZZquil), Jo revealed that his son Isaac is going to try to break into the acting industry. The 14-year-old— who was born on 16 and Pregnant and has been in front of reality TV cameras since he was a kid— recently tried to get his first acting job, but was disappointed to find out it was a bust.
Jo talked about how Isaac had attempted to audition be an extra on “Stranger Things,” but Jo quickly realized the audition was a scam.
“I felt so bad because he was so excited,” Jo said of Isaac.
After talking with Kail, Jo said they have decided to help Isaac pursue a career in the entertainment industry.
“So, we were like, ‘We’re gonna set you up, we’re gonna do this the right way,’” Jo said. “We’re gonna get you an agent….we’re gonna get you…some headshots done. We’re gonna do a photoshoot…I want you to figure out what you need to be prepared for if you do have an audition.
“So now I’m kind of excited and I’ve got him hyped,” Jo said.
Despite the fact that Isaac is already a public figure due to him appearing on the ‘Teen Mom’ shows, Jo insisted that he would have to work hard to break into showbiz.
“Nobody is handing this to [him],” Jo said. “It’s like, ‘Here’s the work, go do it. Let us help you. Tell us what you need and we’ll figure it out.’”
In an Instagram Story posted this week, Kail revealed that she and Isaac will be doing their first joint brand deal for a clothing company.
