Caleb McLaughlin doesn’t have star status when he comes back to his parents’ house. He does some home duties, studies a lot and never sounds arrogant. Well, this boy got an excellent upbringing, and his daddy played an important part in it.
Corey is not just a father of four kids, but also a successful entrepreneur (retired as of now) and a pastor at a Baptist church. Previously, he owned a restaurant.
In 2017 Corey attended the Emmy Awards ceremony together with his son. Everyone noticed how closely-knitted they are. On social media, it’s possible to find the tape, where Caleb dances with his father. No doubt, Corey Sr. is a talented dancer, and his son inherited his artistry from his dad. By the way, Caleb’s dad is a classically trained singer. He uploaded on social media his version of “Let It Snow” song, and that was great!
