Many slammed Deacon as a ‘nepo baby’ and ‘trust fund kid’ as they felt the apartment was unrealistic for the average 20-something college student.

He appeared on two-episodes of the comedy-drama series created by The Office alum Mindy Kaling and is also set to appear in the upcoming comedy 4 Kids Walk Into a Bank.
