Billy Crudup, known for his role in The Morning Show, enjoyed some time with his son, William Atticus Parker, as they strolled through New York City on Wednesday, with William notably taller than his father.

The 21-year-old nepo baby appeared to be several inches taller than the 5ft9in Emmy winner, who celebrated his 57th birthday on Tuesday.

According to IMDb, William has cast Billy for an unspecified part in his third directorial project, The Auction, featuring alongside his mother Mary-Louise Parker, as well as Audra McDonald, Richard Kind, and Raúl Castillo.

Parker is behind the writing and production of the film, which is described as a ‘wild’ indie sci-fi horror focusing on a corporate auction company. This movie is loosely adapted from Agatha Christie’s 1939 mystery novel, And Then There Were None.

The River Styx Productions founder also enlisted his 18-year-old sister Ash Parker, whom the 60-year-old Emmy winner adopted from Ethiopia in 2007, to compose an original song for The Auction.

Readers might recall how Mary-Louise was seven months pregnant with William in November 2003 when Crudup left her for his Stage Beauty leading lady Claire Danes after they fell in love on set months earlier.

In her 2015 memoir Dear Mr. You, Parker wrote a thinly-veiled chapter inspired by that time period when got kicked out of a taxi after angering the lost driver, who told her: ‘I don’t want you any more.’

‘No one does. Look at me. My life is worse than yours in this moment. I am alone. Look, see? I am pregnant and alone. It hurts to even breathe,’ the Weeds alum wrote.

‘I’m trying to get through it but I’m by myself every night and every morning and no one, nothing helps. I’m sorry I yelled. I can’t get my shoes on anymore. Please, I know I am awful, it’s been made clear but look at me please.’

Mary-Louise concluded of their seven-year romance: ‘I realize now that whatever I was walking through was part of my life, one piece of a bigger story that is mostly beautiful.’

And in 2009, Parker directly addressed the scandal in More Magazine: ‘I’ve never commented on the situation, and I won’t because it’s not fair to my son. Your love for your child should eclipse any other feelings you have for another person.’

On April 7, Billy and Claire enjoyed an affectionate reunion at Cipriani South Street in Lower Manhattan during the NYU Tisch Gala, which raised over $1.7M in support of student needs.

‘I was just in love with him. And needed to explore that and I was 24. I didn’t quite know what those consequences would be,’ Danes admitted on The Howard Stern Show in 2015.

‘[The backlash] was a scary thing. That was really hard. I didn’t know how to not do that. It’s OK. I went through it. We’re friendly — we’re friends.’

The Homeland alum has been married to her Stardust leading man Hugh Dancy since 2009 and Crudup has been married to his Gypsy leading lady Naomi Watts since 2023.
