Justin Hartley rose to an all new level of popularity after taking over the role of Adam Newman from Michael Muhney on ‘The Young and the Restless’. In the issue of Watch Magazine, released this month, Justin Harley is featured and he discusses his Y&R role.

Hartley shared with the magazine that in his opinion Adam Newman is “the best role on television,” he also states that this is the best job he’s ever had and he’s quite elated with it. “At the risk of making my co-stars angry, I think Adam is the best role on television right now,” says Hartley. “On paper, Adam is a perfect character; my plan was to shift it to where I wanted it. A good role is a good role—I don’t care if it’s on a stage, on daytime or prime time, it doesn’t matter. It’s the best job I have ever had. I’m very happy.” shares Hartley.

We can’t deny that Hartley has been doing a fantastic job as Victor Newman’s (Eric Braeden) son. When it was announced that he was taking over the role, quite a few fans were disgruntled. Many thought he wouldn’t be able to pull it off but he has proven everyone wrong. Since his debut the feelings of him not being perfect for the role slowly died out. Now fans are satisfied and sharing that Hartley is the perfect recast.

Further along Hartley spoke about his current relationship with former daytime actress Chrishell Stause (Ex-Jordan, Days and Ex-Amanda, AMC). He claims the courtship took a while to finally flourish. He said “I had been single for a long time, and I was sick of it.” Congratulations on eventually becoming a couple.
