The Children of Glenn Howerton, Rob Mac and Kaitlin Olson All Cameo’d on This Week’s ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’
Paddy’s Pub is legally, morally and hygienically unfit for minors — or any human beings, regardless of age — but the members of The Gang are doing their best to make it a family business anyway.
This week’s episode of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia introduced a trio of underage drinkers to the worst bar in Philadelphia, played by none other than the teenage children of the series’ stars. Rob Mac and Kaitlin Olson’s two sons, Axel and Leo, were featured in the respective roles of “Bar Kid #1” and “Bar Kid #3,” with Glenn Howerton’s son, Miles, taking on the part of “Bar Kid #2.”
“Hey, are you 21?” Mac asks upon seeing the young pals cheers-ing their oversized mugs of beer.

“Yeah, what does it look like?” one of the Bar Kids replied.
“Yeah, fuck off, grandpa,” added a second.
“The mouth on him!” Mac fired back.
Always Sunny fans were definitely charmed by the back-and-forth. “That’s so cute omg,” wrote one fan, while another dubbed the kids’ inclusion as “the only nepotism I support.”
These cameos, however, were far from a sure thing — at least in the case of the Olson-Mac progeny. In an interview with Variety earlier this summer, Mac and Olson admitted that they initially had qualms about allowing their children to get into the entertainment industry, a topic that arose while filming Welcome to Wrexham a few years back.
“We’d talked about not showing their faces,” Olson explained, citing memories from her own awkward phase as her rationale. But the pain of her teen years weren’t enough to sway Mac, who “went rogue and put them in a fucking documentary,” which left the actress “unhappy,” but sparked their childrens’ curiosity about the wonderful world of TV.
“The kids love it,” Mac explained of his kids' role in the series. “I have a different perspective. Millions of people across the world say, ‘We love to watch them!’”
Whatever the case may be, it’s nice to see some much-needed wholesomeness around Paddy’s Pub — even if it involves underage drinking and a few f-bombs.
