Rising star Owen Thiele has revealed the hilarious way his mother keeps him “grounded” amid his exponential rise to fame. The 29-year-old has become a household name thanks to his roles in shows such as Adults and Overcompensating. But in an interview with People, Owen laughed that his mum Amy Kanter is always on hand to stop him from getting a big head. Of his stratospheric rise to superstardom, Owen called it a “whirlwind”, and added: “I feel very grateful and very lucky.” She’s playing my mother.
