What He’s Said About Being A Grandpa

Billy is proud of having grandchildren and has even spoken about them during numerous interviews. Most recently, he gushed about performing in front of them on Broadway in May 2022. “I’m very proud of the fact that at the age of 74, I made my musical comedy debut in front of my grandchildren opening night,” he told the cast of The View at the time. “That was the greatest thrill of all.”

He also noted that he couldn’t help but think about the fact that his grandkids had not seen him perform live. “It was truly moving,” he continued. “[Before the show] I kept thinking about where I started and how these kids who have never seen me live before on stage… never saw me perform — especially this character, that embraces my age now, this is who I am — and I keep getting teary. I had to go, ‘Stop it, stop it, stop it.'” And earlier, in June 2016, he admitted that the kids, at one point, only wanted him to use his “Mike” Wazowski voice from Monsters, Inc. “For a while there, when I was on the phone to them they didn’t really want to talk to me, they wanted to talk to Mike!”, he told the Daily Telegraph, via The Daily Mail.
