Recently, Michael sat down with Kelly Clarkson and recalled a funny mishap that happened recently at his daughter’s graduation.
“We had a lovely experience. It was a virtual graduation,” he explained .
“We couldn’t actually be in the same room that she was in because of COVID protections and all of that.”
“It was so wonderful and we’re so proud of her,” he clarified before explaining what happened at the ceremony.
“But I’ve got to tell you, Kelly, it’s a little rough when you’re going out the doors and the other parents are saying, ‘Oh congratulations … you must be so proud of your granddaughter,'” the actor laughed.
“I’m not gonna take it personal. They’re just trying to be nice,” he said.
Once Carys leaves for college and son Dylan is back at Brown University, Michael and Catherine will have to adjust to life as empty nesters.
