“I have a dream for him and it’s not show business. I want him to be an Olympian,” said Jericho.
“I just see that he loves sports… I don’t want the crazy life for him. I want him to focus sa school, so show biz was not an option.”
The 38-year-old actor revealed that they are constantly mistaken as brothers, so much so that Santino is happy when someone knows right away that they are father and son.
