Speaking to a news media when he was nine years old, Julian Broadus expressed his desire to get to know his family better and regretted that the TV series would have given him the opportunity. He said ‘I want to be on the show to get to know my family.’ he continued ‘It would be so nice for all of us to just hang out together. I hope we can do that one day.’
