In a recent episode of The Ellen Degeneres Show, actor Eric McCormack made a hilarious revelation about his parenting skills, proving that even celebrities have their fair share of mishaps.

During his appearance, McCormack discussed his experiences as a father and shared a particularly memorable moment involving his son, Finigan. He revealed that when Finigan was younger, he had gotten into some finger paints and began to use them as a form of artistic expression. However, things took a comical turn when Finigan decided to take his painting skills to a whole new level.

McCormack explained that while he and his wife momentarily looked away, they were taken aback when they turned back to find Finigan holding an actual brush and “painting his Willie,” with delicate brushstrokes reminiscent of how a woman would paint her nails. The audience burst into laughter as McCormack jokingly commented on the “literal” interpretation of the activity.

Despite the humorous parenting anecdote, McCormack also took the opportunity to discuss his successful television series, Will & Grace. He shared the exciting news that negotiations for another season had just been finalized, providing fans with even more laughter and entertainment. McCormack expressed his gratitude for the positive experiences he has had on the show, including the addition of a boyfriend for his character, which he felt brought an interesting dynamic to his role.

In addition to discussing his personal life and career on The Ellen Degeneres Show, McCormack also treated the audience to some entertaining surprises. He presented a clip from his early acting days, showcasing a particularly cringe-worthy performance. McCormack humorously admitted that the character had actually been named “McCormick,” a bit of irony that he couldn’t help but find amusing.

With his trademark charm and wit, McCormack effortlessly entertained both Ellen Degeneres and the audience. His ability to laugh at himself and share amusing stories from his personal life made for an engaging and memorable appearance on the talk show.

Fans of McCormack and Will & Grace were undoubtedly delighted by his appearance on The Ellen Degeneres Show, eagerly anticipating the upcoming season of the beloved sitcom.
