Gracie Abrams shares father JJ Abrams’ surprising reaction

Gracie Abrams, who is currently dating Irish actor Paul Mescal, has opened up about how her famous father and director J.J. Abrams, reacted to her burgeoning music career.

In a new interview, the 24-year old reminisced her father’s initial response to her growing success in the music industry, saying, “He just said, ‘What in the world?’”

Paul Mescal's girlfriend, who has captivated audiences with her heartfelt albums and singles, acknowledged that her father’s reaction was a mix of surprise and support.

Gracie Abram's rise to fame in the music world was something entirely different for the family. 

“I think he just didn’t see it coming,” she said. “We’re very close, and I think there’s part of him that feels like it’s wild and unexpected, but also I think he’s proud.”

Despite her father's initial surprise, Gracie said that J.J. has always been incredibly supportive of her creative endeavors, offering both encouragement and advice. 

"He's just a very involved dad," she said. "He’s always been there to listen, whether it’s about music or just life in general."

While the media often gravitates toward her famous last name, Gracie has worked hard to carve out her own identity in the music world.

"I feel like I’m just figuring it out and taking everything one step at a time," she reflected.

Fans of both Gracie and J.J. Abrams continue to be fascinated by their family dynamic, especially given the contrast between her intimate music career and his blockbuster filmmaking. 

However, Gracie’s success in her own right proves that she’s more than just the daughter of a legendary director—she’s a talented artist in her own right.

As she continues to gain momentum in her career, Gracie is excited to see where her music will take her next, but she’s also thankful for the support of her family along the way, especially her dad.

With a growing fanbase and a future filled with possibilities, Gracie Abrams is clearly on her way to carving out her own legacy, one song at a time.
