‘Gilmore Girls’ Star Matt Czuchry Won’t Reveal If Logan Is Rory’s Baby Daddy
“I just love that fans are having this opportunity because it’s something that they’ve wanted since 2007,” he said.
During “1-on-1 with Larry Flick,” actor Matt Czuchry played coy about Rory Gilmore’s baby daddy’s identity on “Gilmore Girls: A Year In the Life.” He insisted it’s not his story to tell, leaving that to creator Amy Sherman-Palladino, if she decides to write more.
Czuchry said he’s “not surprised” by viewers’ intense reactions to the Netflix reboot’s ending after witnessing “overwhelming” Team Logan vs. Team Jess vs. Team Dean fervor during the last three seasons of “Gilmore Girls.”
“That was a process for me personally to go through, but now having done ‘The Good Wife’ for seven years and now done this, I’m not surprised at those fans of how they feel about Logan or those last four words or the intensity of the fan base, because I’m more experienced personally and professionally,” he explained. “So for me, it’s not a surprise at all, and I kind of love it that fans are getting a chance to debate this … I just love that fans are having this opportunity because it’s something that they’ve wanted since 2007, the end of the original series.”
More importantly, Czuchry may have succeeded in drafting Flick to Logan’s side.
“I’m so happy I got the redemption!” he said, laughing. “I’m going to go out and celebrate because I feel like when I came last time, [Flick said], ‘You hurt my Rory, you hurt my Rory.'”
“I think it’s like, Matt ‘You Hurt My Rory’ Czuchry,'” Flick joked, apologizing if he came off too harsh defending Rory against a younger Logan’s Playboy ways.
“No, no, no, I love it that we get to come full circle like this,” Czuchry said. “And there’s still fans out there who feel divisive about Logan, but if I’ve got one fan who I turn in you, then ah!”
