‘Orange is the New Black’ Star Matt McGorry Posted a Pretty Awesome Father’s Day Message

ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK SPOILERS AHEAD!

I guess Orange is the New Black star Matt McGorry finally got tired of fans coming down on him for his character John Bennett leaving poor preggo Daya in the dust this season and used Father’s Day as the perfect opportunity to let them know that he is NOT his character.

The actor posted a picture of himself, posing with Dascha Polanco and Elizabeth Rodriguez who play mother-daughter immate duo named Dayanara and Aleida Diaz, with a caption breaking down the difference between a TV character and real -life. Part of the post reads, “Happy Fathers Day to all the real fathers out there! I am an actor and I play the fictional character John Bennett on the fictional television show entitled Orange Is The New Black. Here I am with actresses Dascha Polanco and Elizabeth Rodriguez who play make-believe mother-daughter characters named Dayanara and Aleida Diaz on the made up television program with me. They are not mother and Daugther in real life even though they and we play pretend characters that are sometimes even the opposite of who we are as real live people while not reflecting our real lives because it is not real.”

Read the rest of Matt’s sarcasm-riddled post below:

Happy Fathers Day to all the real fathers out there! I am an actor and I play the fictional character John Bennett on the fictional television show entitled Orange Is The New Black.

They are not mother and Daugther in real life even though they and we play pretend characters that are sometimes even the opposite of who we are as real live people while not reflecting our real lives because it is not real. Moments before this photograph was taken I was even saying words that were written by another person, all the while pretending that my name was John Bennett and that his thoughts and actions were a result of my own brain! Weirdly, the words coming out of my mouth and the things I did in the story were not created by me at all! To make matters even more confusing, I am even dressed in fictional character John Bennett's costume (a costume is like fictional clothes) in this photograph that was taken on the television set and afterwards I went home to my apartment in New York City where I don't have a child because I'm not a father and have never worked in a prison and TV is not real life. #oitnb
