He opened up about the experience during a takeover on the CW show's Instagram.
"Working with dad was really awesome," he said. "We had a lot of fun, we had some great scenes together."
"And it was really trippy because with the mustache he wears, he looks like my real-life grandfather. So it was a weird and surreal experience, but we had the best time."
