Percy Jackson star's hot dad goes viral as fans swoon over former Navy SEAL's hunky GMA appearance

The Internet is drooling over a handsome, unexpected new star. 

Percy Jackson star Walker Scobell was being interviewed on Good Morning America on Wednesday but his father unexpectedly stole the show when the camera briefly panned to him. 

Pete Scobell was seen watching the interview unfold but all anyone could talk about was his rugged and hunky appearance. 

One said Pete - whose son plays Poseidon's child in Percy Jackson and the Olympians - actually resembled the Greek god. 

'Walker Scobell's dad is so damn hot he literally looks like Poseidon,' one posted. 

'ex-Navy Seal, too. Walker Scobell literally looks like his young clone,' another remarked. 

'Walker scobells dad is hot as f**k like damn,' one wrote. 

'Walker Scobell, do not scroll down the twitter timeline today kiddo!!! they're thirsting over your actual real biological father on here,' another wrote. 

Based on the books by Rick Riordan, Percy Jackson and the Olympians debuted on Disney+ in 2023 and is now returning for a third season. 

Episode one of the series managed to grab 26.2million views in its first three weeks.

The show was created by Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg and follows two films - The Lightning Thief (2010) and Sea Of Monsters (2013) - each starring Logan Lerman as Percy.

There has also been a musical, The Lightning Thief, which ran from 2014 to 2019 both off-Broadway and on.

The story follows Jackson - a demigod who is half mortal human and half immortal god - who is accused by the sky god Zeus of stealing his master lightning bolt.

Percy must now go on a journey across America to find this lightning bolt and returning to Zeus on Olympus.
