Josh Peck Reveals If He'll Let His Kids Watch Any of His Shows (Exclusive)

Yes, including 'Drake and Josh' and 'How I Met Your Father.'

Josh Peck has a lengthy acting career—from Nickelodeon to Hulu, and more.

For many millennials, the actor is considered one of the biggest stars of the '00s, but now, as a 36-year-old with two kids of his own—Max Milo, 4, and Shai Miller, born in October 2022— he’s facing a huge decision: will he let his kids watch his former shows?

While exclusively speaking with Parade to promote his new partnership with Enfamil, Peck revealed, “Yesterday I was showing my son the show Turner & Hooch, which I made for Disney+. It's got a lot of action and a cute dog, so my son was all about it.”

As for his other shows like Drake and Josh with Drake Bell, Fuller House, or How I Met Your Father alongside Hilary Duff, Peck said, “I imagine by the time he's old enough to watch some of my stuff he will be totally over me and not interested. You know, he'll probably be watching the fifth iteration of a Stranger Things reboot. But yeah, I am more than happy to share it with him. I like anyone that's a fan of me, especially my kids.”

One of those fan-favorite shows that got the reboot treatment was iCarly, which brought Peck on as a new character. Of course, the Paramount+ show was more than just a gig, as it allowed him to reunite with his Drake and Josh sister Miranda Cosgrove.

“She played my little sister, and I've known her since she was nine. Now she's going to be 30," he said of working with the former child star. "I'll never be able to sort of get rid of that protective older brother mentality. Anytime she tells me about some boy she's dating, I'm like, 'Is he being nice to you? Otherwise, we may have words.’”

His wife, Paige O’Brien, elaborated on her friendship with Cosgrove, stating, “She's so sweet and she's one of the people from Josh's world that she and I just instantly connected,” adding that they constantly go out together with Peck joking that she “stole her from him.”

The actor also divulged a little about his part in Christopher Nolan’s film Oppenheimer, where he portrays Kenneth Bainbridge, noting that being able to “share scenes with Cillian Murphy and Matt Damon” was a “masterclass.”

“I love being around people who are operating at a high level so I can basically steal from them. I'm trying to figure out all their cheat codes and their hacks, so getting to just watch these greats operate at that high level was an honor. And I'm very proud to be a part of it. Any time I have an opportunity to work with someone like that who I really look up to, I run at it,” he added.

As for his dream future role? He really wants to work with Denzel Washington.

“I've had friends talk a lot about manifesting lately, so I'm putting it out into the universe,” he added.
