Share this @internewscast.com

Father-son duo Deacon Phillippe and Ryan Phillippe attended a special screening of their upcoming TV series Motorheads on Tuesday.

The 21-year-old rising actor and 50-year-old Hollywood vet both looked handsome in fashionable outfits complementing their respective styles.

For his part, the New York University student donned a forest green collared sweater and matching slacks, adding black accents.

He secured his pants with a long onyx belt and coordinating sneakers with white soles.

Meanwhile, Ryan — who shares Deacon with ex-wife Reese Witherspoon — looked great in a beige suit.

His trousers were wide-legged and pleated down the center, and the Cruel Intentions star punctuated the look with black dress shoes.

He sported a light, scruffy beard while his mini-me son was clean shaven.

The two stars will appear together in the forthcoming Amazon Prime series, arriving on May 20.

Speaking with People on Tuesday, Ryan revealed his reaction when he found out his son might be cast as his brother in a series of flashback scenes.

‘I thought, “Wow, that’s surprising,” he remembered, adding, ‘I didn’t want to sway the decision, so I suggested, “Let’s offer it to him and see his response.”‘

He continued, ‘The whole time [in my head] I’m like, “Please do it. Please do it. I want you there with me.” But I wanted it to be his own decision.’

In addition to Deacon, Ryan shares 25-year-old daughter Ava Phillippe with Reese, 49. 

He’s also dad to daughter Kai, who turns 14 in July, with 35-year-old ex-girlfriend Alexis Knapp.

When Deacon informed him about accepting the Motorheads role, he expressed, ‘I was overjoyed, because it meant he would be joining the production on and off, allowing me to spend time with him.’

His son has been studying music in New York City since 2022. 

He explained, ‘When your kids go off to college, it’s really unsettling. It really leaves a deficit, a hole in your life in some ways. 

‘Although I visit him in New York, and we hang out as much as possible, it’s quite different from having him in your home every day. This experience gave me the chance to live together for a week once more.’

The proud parent gushed, ‘I was there through his first night shoot, which was really funny to see him struggling to stay awake at 3:30 in the morning. Even though we didn’t have scenes together, it was very much a shared experience.’

He said one memorable highlight of working with Deacon was when they sat in showrunner John A. Norris’ office together to brainstorm what their characters’ ‘childhood would have been like.’

‘Me and my son talking about what we were like as brothers is a very cool, unique thing to have happened,’ he noted.

‘And then the two lead characters of the show, Michael Cimino and Melissa Collazo, they play [Deacon’s] kids. 

‘There was a time where we all got together and had dinner and had laughs about that because he’s younger than both of them, but he’s their father. There was a lot of really, really funny and sweet moments.’
