Because nothing says “dad of the year” like rainbow walls and a sky-blue ceiling, am I right?
Hollywood heartthrob and part-time HGTV dad, Joshua Jackson (you know, Pacey from Dawson’s Creek, or as your aunt calls him, “that handsome doctor on TV now”), has turned tragedy into technicolor triumph after the Los Angeles fires made toast of his home earlier this year. But instead of moping around or panic-Googling “how to rebuild a house with zero patience,” our guy decided to take action—in the form of interior decorating that would make a unicorn weep.
Jackson, now renting a new place (because, you know, fire), revealed on Instagram that he’s finally fulfilled a dream… not his, but his 4-year-old daughter Juno’s. And what was that dream? A RAINBOW ROOM. Not a metaphor. An actual room. With rainbows. Everywhere.
“JR: Daddy, when we build the new house we should have a rainbow room.”
“Daddy: I got you, kiddo.”
“JR: With a blue sky roof.”
“Daddy: I got you ki—”
“JR: And pink. There needs to be pink.”
“Daddy: …Yes ma’am.”
Honestly, she runs that household like a tiny, sparkly CEO. 👑
Joshua spilled a little more rainbow tea in his caption: After losing their home, he realized he hadn’t yet delivered on his daughter’s long-standing demand for a psychedelic dream space. (“I was working… yadda yadda,” aka standard dad excuses.) Now, with a new rental, he decided to rainbow-up someone else’s walls like the rebel dad he is.
Huge shout-out to his landlords, who apparently had no objections to turning their nice neutral home into Lisa Frank’s fever dream. Saints.
“Because while I can’t give her a new house (yet),” he wrote, “we can certainly have some rainbows along the way.”
💀 I’m not crying, you’re crying, probably in a room that’s beige and boring.
In case you didn’t know (how dare you), Joshua shares Juno with his ex-wife Jodie Turner-Smith, which means this child is genetically guaranteed to be both stunning and stubborn—clearly the latter, judging by her “there needs to be pink” demand. A girl with a vision.
So while their old house may be ashes, the rainbow room is fire (the good kind), and Juno now lives in what I can only assume is a Lisa Frank catalog brought to life.
Joshua Jackson, actor, dad, and now part-time magician—proving that even when life burns down your house, you can still build a rainbow.
🌈✨ The End. (For now.)
