When the coronavirus forced states to shut down this spring, the changes in daily life took most people by surprise, and Luke Bryan was no exception.
On a virtual interview with ABC's "The View," the country superstar and his fellow "American Idol" judges offered updates on life from quarantine. The singer admitted that staying at home has involved a few more mouths to feed than he bargained for.

But the number of kids in the household doesn’t stop there.
“My nephew, Til, he’s 18, and I inherited four other 18-year-old boys that I have been feeding since March 12,” the singer revealed, adding that the situation has transformed him into a full-time cook.

“I wake up, I do my workout -- I’ve had freezers full of food, and I start preparing. I’m a qualified chef right now,” Bryan added. “I feel like I’m a chef in the military. I’ve been feeding these boys.”
As graduating seniors, the boys have been especially impacted by the pandemic because they won’t be taking part in high school graduation. Bryan hopes that the quality time they’re spending with friends and family is helping to make up for the loss, even if the close quarters sometimes test the household adults’ nerves.
