Blue’s Clues Casts Hunky Joshua Dela Cruz As New Host
90’s kids listen up, because our childhood show – Blue’s Clues – is about to get a remake, and it’s looking promising.
For those who don’t know what Blue’s Clues is, here’s Steve and Blue in action to jolt your memory.
Recently, Nickelodeon announced a remake for the iconic series. And we think that children – and adults alike – will be more than impressed with the new host.
Enter, Filipino-American actor Joshua Dela Cruz, who will be taking over the Steve’s iconic role. Here’s a hunky picture of him that will explain why many adults over at Twitter are already calling themselves new fans of the show.
Time to whip out your Handy Dandy Notebooks, and pen these fun facts down as we get to know our new host, Joshua. You can catch a teaser trailer here:
Blue’s Clues’ new host is extremely hunky
Blue the dog will be joined on her adventures by Filipino American actor — Joshua Dela Cruz.
Cast for his friendly demeanour and enthusiasm, the actor also makes an effort to stay in tip-top shape, as evidenced by his Instagram posts.
Here’s Joshua looking casually dapper in a navy blue shirt and jeans, in a behind-the-scenes post of him preparing to film Blue’s Clues via a green screen.
Other fans have also celebrated the diverse casting choice made by Nickelodeon’s team, since Joshua Dela Cruz will be the first Asian host in the show’s history.
Possible reasons why the original host left
Steve Burns – the host of Blues Clues back in the days – was a character that was easily recognised for his green-striped T-shirt.
However, in 2002, Steve left the show abruptly and the real reason behind his departure is still unknown.
According to a report by Huff Post, Steve mentioned that he left the show because he was “balding” and that it just “felt like the right time” to leave.
Blues Clues then changed its host multiple times before ending up with their recent choice.
Now both children and parents can look forward to it
With the show’s hunky new host, we wish Joshua all the best in creating awesome memories for children all over the world with his new take on it.
But don’t be too surprised, if you see parents camping in front of the television with their children to catch Joshua in action too.
We don’t have to sit in the Thinking Chair to know that Blue’s Clues will be even more enjoyable for both children and their nostalgic parents who were fans of Steve & Blue.
Guess it’s time to skidoo over to check it out!
