M. Night Shyamalan's dad is so proud of his son these days that he apparently pays for everything -- even gum -- with a credit card -- just so people will see his last name.
But it wasn't always that way. Back when a young M. Night Shyamalan first broke the news of his showbiz career plans to his family -- who are all doctors -- his father wasn't exactly impressed.
"My dad was watching a hockey game and I said, 'Dad I applied to NYU film school, I got in as a scholarship, and I'm gonna go', and he didn't even look at me," Shyamalan tells Stephen Colbert in the clip above. "He just kept watching the game."
Still, at least it all worked out in the end.
