More: Claim to Fame Season 3 spoilers and who each contestant is related to
Gracie Lou is one of the 11 cast members on Season 3 of Claim to Fame, ABC‘s reality TV series in which contestants with celebrity relatives must correctly guess each other’s famous family members while keeping their own a secret. Hosted by brothers Kevin Jonas and Frankie Jonas, the series, which premiered in 2022, has featured the relatives of celebrities like Lil Nas X, Alicia Keys, Eddie Murphy, and Tiffany Haddish.
Gracie Lou’s celebrity relative is actor Jon Cryer. Gracie Lou is Cryer’s niece. Gracie’s two truths and a lie also confirm that Cryer is her celebrity relative.
Her two truths and a lie were that her celebrity relative is her uncle, a musician, and has won an Emmy. Gracie Lou’s mother is Cryer’s sister, making Cryer her uncle. Cryer has also won two Primetime Emmy Awards: one in 2009 in the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series category for his work on the CBS comedy Two and a Half Men and a second in 2012 in the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series category for the same series. This mean that Grcie Lou’s lie was that her celebrity relative is a musician.
The clues on the clue wall that support Cryer as Gracie Lou’s relative include a duck, a reference to Cryer’s character, Duckie, from the 1986 movie, Pretty in Pink.
In the Season 3 premiere, Gracie Lou admitted to laying on a thick southern accent to convince the other contestants that her relative is a country singer. She also noted that the duck was related to her celebrity relative, which led the other contestants to believe that she was related to a cast member on the A&E reality TV series Duck Dynasty.
Who’s Jon Cryer?
Cryer is an actor best known for his role as Adam Harper in the CBS series Two and a Half Men, which ran from 2003 to 2015. Cryer’s big break came in 1984 when he made his film debut in the romantic comedy No Small Affair.
He’s also starred in movies like Pretty in Pink, in which he played Phil “Duckie” Dale, as well as The CW series Supergirl, in which he played villain Lex Luthor. (He also appeared as the character in spinoffs Batwoman, The Flash. Arrow, and Legends of Tomorrow.) Along with his two Emmy Awards, Cryer also has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, which he received in 2011.
Cryer’s parents also worked in the entertainment industry. His mother, Gretchen Cryer, is a playwright, songwriter, actress, and a singer, while his father, Donald David Cryer, is an actor and singer. He has two sisters named Robin and Shelly. Cryer has been married twice. He was married to his first wife, actor Sarah Trigger, from 1999 to 2004. They share one child together, a son named Charlie Austin.
