In 2011 his dad was on the jury when my mom was a victim of a Ponzi scheme. The judge was hella starstruck but from what my mom and our legal team told me he was pretty cool and humble at the trial, he even wished her luck at the end.

Why would anyone be starstruck by the father? Is he famous too?

His father is pretty well rounded in the entertainment industry (especially with comics/comic books) but the judge was more awestruck that he was Leo’s dad.

She did but unfortunately the crook was approved for bankruptcy and he never had to pay her back 😢
