Lewis Pullman has walking the nepo baby tightrope perfectly … admitting he couldn’t achieve everything he did on his own — but, taking pride in building a name for himself.
We ran into the actor at LAX Tuesday … and we asked him about him drawing even more buzz than his famous father, Bill Pullman.
Check out the clip to see for yourself … you can tell it means a lot for him to hear the praise after appearing in several well-received projects — like “Thunderbolts*,” “The Testament of Ann Lee,” “Outer Range” and “Lessons in Chemistry” over the last few years.
Lewis says everyone wants to strike their own path in life … though he also says he knows his dad opened a door for him — so, he knows he has to stay humble.
We also talked to Lewis about his Super Bowl LX ad for Michelob Ultra … where Kurt Russell teaches Pullman’s commercial character, Greg, how to ski like a pro.

It’s a hilarious ad … and Pullman’s tearing up the slopes by the end — though don’t expect him to be doing any of that IRL.

Lewis will appear alongside Bill in the 2027 flick “Spaceballs 2” … and, with how his star is rising, we wouldn’t surprised to hear people refer to the elder Pullman as “Lewis’ dad” soon!
