Anthony Michael Hall has been acting since he was a kid. And now he is taking on his greatest role ever. On June 1st, he and his wife, Lucia Hall, welcomed their first child, a big baby boy who came into the world weighing 9 lbs., 7 oz.
The actor, 55, told People, “We have a big boy. In between his breastfeeding, I get to give him his bottles, and I can tell you, this kid has some appetite. He was born 9 lbs, 7 oz. at Cedars Sinai, and we were there for four days. And fortunately, when we came back home the next day, he just connected with mom and she’s been feeding him and taking care of him, as have I, ever since.”
The couple met on the film War Machine in 2017, got engaged in 2019, and tied the knot a year later.
Congrats to the new parents. Hopefully, their son will grow up and know not to share a girl’s underwear in the high school bathroom. Because if he does, he will have to spend his Saturdays in detention with The Breakfast Club!
Ever since the ’80s, we have known Anthony Michael Hall as Anthony Michael Hall. It turns out his name is not Anthony Michael Hall.
I have never heard that his name was anything but Anthony Michael Hall. Have you?
Well, yesterday, when Anthony Michael Hall was on Live with Kelly and Ryan, he revealed to Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest that his birth name is Michael Anthony Hall.
So, why did he switch up his first and middle names? Back when he was a kid, actors in SAG were not allowed to have the same name as someone else in the union. Therefore, his parents decided to go with Anthony Michael Hall. And the rest is Hollywood history.
I can’t believe he was able to go over 40 years without us knowing any differently. Or am I the only one who didn’t know this?
Before Anthony Michael Hall was part of the Griswold family in Vacation, he was an orphan in Six Pack. How cute was the 13 year old in that 1982 movie?
Anthony Michael Hall was on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen and a caller wanted to know which movie or television has he done does he wish he could delete from his career. At first he said, “Oh, I got a bunch.” Then he settled on a movie called A Gnome Named Gnorm. After watching the trailer for the 1990 movie, I do not know what he is talking about. I think it is looks like the best film in his career, even ahead of Sixteen Candles and Weird Science.
What do you think of the trailer of A Gnome Named Gnorm?
UPDATE: Anthony Michael also played Plead the Fifth, and he revealed which Brat Packer got the most action. Believe it or not, it is not Rob Lowe. To hear that answer, then click here!
