While talking to PA News agency, A Cinderella Story actor opened that he embraces his heartthrob legacy that he achieved in the teens.

In a statement, he said, "I’m very, very blessed, very fortunate and lucky to be a part of a lot of really great movies and great stories that have affected a generation.”

For Chad, the affection he receives is the only reasons for him to be an actor.

"That’s really the only reason to be an actor for me. I just wanted to make people happy”, he added.
