During an appearance onLive with Kelly and Ryanin November 2020, Phillippe said he surprised his son with a “short road trip” to Joshua Tree National Park for his 17th birthday the month prior, where they went hunting for aliens.
“We did some rock climbing and this and that. I had rented an alien-themed Airbnb and then revealed to him that the actual intent of our trip was to try to make contact with alien civilization,” theBig Skyactor joked with hostsKelly RipaandRyan Seacrest.

“The problem is we went too deep into Joshua Tree and lost signal. So we couldn’t use the app,” said theCruel Intentionsstar.
The trip did give the two some time to bond, however. “We did lay out — in the middle of the night, we laid in the rocks and had a great father-and-son bonding moment, but no alien contact,” Phillippe shared.
