Taye Diggs' Son Has 'No Interest' In An Entertainment Career Like His Famous Parents: 'It's Killing His Mother'

Taye Diggs revealed that despite his ex-wife Idina Menzel's aspirations for their son to pursue a career in entertainment, the teenager lacks interest in the industry.

Diggs opened up about his son's disinterest in show business to OK! magazine. Despite his son Walker Nathaniel's talents, including a beautiful voice and a great sense of humor, the teenager shows no inclination towards pursuing a career in entertainment.

"No interest at all, and it's killing his mother. I don't really care, but he has such a beautiful voice," 'The Best Man' actor said. "He is a good-looking kid, he's hilarious, so he would be great [in the industry], but he has no interest whatsoever."

However, the 14-year-old is deeply passionate about basketball.

"He's such an athlete, but it's interesting that he's chosen that path," Diggs, 53, continued. "Basketball is his main sport, but he can play everything. He's obsessed with basketball."

"It's really fun watching someone you've created really focus on something," the actor said. "It's a trip!"

Taye Diggs also reminisced about his role in the television series "All American" in 2018, highlighting how it facilitated a deeper connection with his son.

"I felt very lucky because I was in a situation where art was kind of imitating life, and even when I was on that program, my son knew more about football than I did," Diggs commented. "So, we were able to watch that show together and discuss the issues as well as the athletics. That was a seminal moment for us."
