The well-known YouTuber recently disclosed how he feels about being called “Daddy”, the most famous term used by his followers to describe the bodybuilder. 

Bumstead was recently featured on Raw Nutrition’s YouTube channel to answer a few fan questions. It was a candid interview, and the bodybuilder responded to every question in detail. This also included answering – “What’s it like being called Daddy?”

Soon after reading out the question, Bumstead could not stop himself from holding back a blush. However, he explained his feelings and said, “Online being called ‘Daddy’ is one thing. It’s funny, I reply with a picture like, ‘Thanks, son,’ or whatever. But in person, when a grown man comes up to me, looks me in the eyes, and says, ‘Hi Daddy,’ there’s nothing weirder.”

Bumstead gets extremely awkward when his fans use the term to address him in real life. He further added, “It is really uncomfortable and super weird. Especially when this guy’s girlfriend is right beside him, and he comes up and calls me Daddy. I’m like this is just weird. And I get uncomfortable and I laugh.” Seems like having a toned body and handsome looks does not come with some consequences. And who better than Bumstead will know about this?

However, most of these comments referred to CBum as “Daddy”, which the bodybuilder has grown used to by now. Hence, after reading a çomment, which referred to him by his new unofficial title, Bumstead sarcastically replied and said, “Apparently, I am a daddy now.” Nonetheless, CBum is well aware of the term and often jokes around with his fans whenever they use the new word of appreciation.
