Balthazar Getty: Not infertile
“Obviously, I can make babies,” the Brothers & Sisters star tells USA Today, and he has three kids and one more on the way to prove it. A little uncomfortable with Tommy’s brotherly-sperm-donation storyline? “I was like, ‘Whoa, we’re taking away his masculinity a little bit,’ ” Getty says in the interview, which also covers his wealthy and sometimes weird lifestyle as a member of the Getty clan.
He’s family with his Walker co-stars, too, inviting Dave Annable and Matthew Rhys to his grandfather’s country home in England, and having playdates for his children with the kids of Rachel Griffiths and Calista Flockhart. In other show-biz news, his best friend and son’s godfather is Eric Dane from Grey’s Anatomy, McSteamy himself. A few more quotes from the interview:
On raising the next generation of Gettys: “The kids obviously know they have some privilege in their life and are able to do lots of neat things. But painting markers on their face is their idea of art.”
On big families: “I don’t think it’s easy growing up in any family — whether it’s the Gettys or the Walkers. There are always heavy dynamics in big families.”
On upcoming B&S storylines: “There is trouble brewing. I usually sit in those feelings all day. And after an emotional day like that, you’re happy when it’s done and you can come back to a loving home.”
