Wyatt and Kurt Russell react to Monarch: Legacy of Monsters comment
While answering fan questions about the Apple TV+ show, Kurt and Wyatt Russell came across a particularly funny comment. A viewer noticed the actor playing a younger version of Kurt Russell’s character in Monarch: Legacy of Monsters had a great Kurt Russell impression, which immediately made both actors burst out laughing.
The situation got even more amusing when a fan discovered that Wyatt is Kurt’s son and reacted online with a popular shocked Pikachu meme. The video of their connection quickly spread, and many viewers were just as surprised to learn they are related in real life.
Wyatt acknowledged that people often mistake him for someone else, which is surprisingly common. He mentioned being told, ‘You’re actually his son!’ and explained that after being in the public spotlight for almost 20 years, he thought everyone knew who he was. He was surprised to find that wasn’t the case, saying he sees this confusion happen quite a bit. Kurt chuckled when Wyatt playfully suggested Pikachu is possibly ‘more famous than Godzilla.’
Apple TV+’s “Monarch: Legacy of Monsters” continues the story of the MonsterVerse after the events of “Godzilla.” The series explores how different generations deal with the increasing danger posed by massive creatures. Kurt Russell and his son, Wyatt Russell, both star as different ages of the same character, Lee Shaw. The show has been renewed for a second season, which will premiere on February 27th.
Wyatt Russell originally pursued a professional hockey career but later transitioned to acting, where he’s steadily built an impressive resume with notable roles in shows like The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and the film Overlord. His father, Kurt Russell, is a long-established Hollywood star known for beloved films such as Escape from New York and The Thing.
