The Shameless alum has previously addressed the new attention he's received from fans.

While speaking to PEOPLE atThe Iron Claw world premiere in November 2023, the actor reacted to the internet's lust over his chef character in The Bear, and the obsession with his toned physique, which he had put on display during several of his outings around Los Angeles.

In February 2023, the Hulu star confessed he doesn't "pay too much attention" to all of the hubbub surrounding his recent roles.

"My mom tells me what they're saying on Twitter, which is nice," he told Vanity Fair. "I've been acting since I was 18. I was on this show [Shameless] for 11 years that was popular, but I wasn't getting as much attention then as I am now. I feel very lucky that everything's been this gradual because I've been able to find my footing already."

The actor — who shares daughters Ezer and Dolores with his now-estranged wife Addison Timlin — added: "I probably wouldn't have done well if I were single or without children or just younger and dumber. If you don't have a foundation outside of your career, that can be a lonely existence."
