Growing up and settling into adulthood is a part of life, but Beau Mirchoff hopes his “Awkward” character Matty McKibben goes kicking and screaming.
In an interview with Wetpaint yesterday, the actor spelled out his relief that Matty won’t soon be the father of Eva’s child (you know…since she’s not actually having one). And his primary reason? No one would take a parent with his character’s nickname seriously.
“He would’ve had to be called Matthew,” Beau lamented. “You can’t be a father and be called Matty. It just doesn’t work.” Guess I’ll try not to take offense at the implication, pal…
And though Matty eviscerated Beth Whitson’s character Eva on the season premiere, essentially booking her a one-way ticket out of Palos Hills, the actress admitted she was happy Matty finally stood his ground.
“Everyone was always so protective of him — and for a good reason — but I think he wants to have his own voice,” Beth explained. “So I think it’s great he finally stuck up for himself, especially because Eva can be a bit of a bully sometimes.”
Both actors confessed it looks unlikely that Eva will return, but urged viewers to never say never.
Whaddya think — could you picture one Mr. Matthew McKibben? Share your thoughts on the potential for a whole new moniker.
