We didn’t realize things were getting so serious with Skyler Gisondo. One minute we’re getting to know each other, the next he’s bringing us to meet the Fockers. In Focker-in-Law, the newest addition to the Meet the Parents film series, Gisondo plays Henry Focker—the son of Ben Stiller’s Greg Focker—alongside Robert De Niro and Ariana Grande. His plans to marry his girlfriend Olivia (Grande) send his overprotective father into a familiar spiral, though bringing someone new into the Focker family comes with its own complications.

The father-son duo reunites after first sharing the screen in 2014’s Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb, making their latest pairing a Hollywood family reunion more than a decade in the making. Gisondo’s career began even earlier—he booked his first acting job at just six years old in a Pizza Hut commercial. Returning to play Stiller’s son all these years later is one role any actor in Hollywood would be happy to marry into. The family affair continued at New York City’s Beacon Theatre on November 11, where Gisondo joined Stiller, De Niro, Grande, and fellow cast members for the film’s world premiere.

Before stepping onto the carpet, the actor invited VMAN along for an exclusive look at his getting-ready process. Take a closer look at his diary below, and meet the Fockers for yourself in theaters November 25.
