A week after his notorious Playgirl shoot – the results of which are due to be exposed online this weekend – Levi Johnston's thoughts are on his 10-month-old son, Tripp.
At Wednesday's GQ Men of the Year Party in New York, a fully-clothed Johnston told PEOPLE that he sees a little bit of himself in his son. "He is very funky," Johnston says. "He's got a lot of energy. He's always looking to mess things up, break things. He's crazy."
Johnston, 19, says that the best thing about being a dad is "just the excitement of watching him grow up. There's a lot of responsibilities you take on. I became a teenager and I grew up really fast."
Earlier this week, Johnston – who split from Sarah Palin's daughter Bristol in March – announced that he is seeking joint custody of Tripp. He claims that the Palin family is allegedly making it difficult for him to see his son.
Johnston tells PEOPLE that he is currently single, a fact that might change after his nude shots go public.

Are you calling women 'incubators' and telling them that the title of 'mother' has to be earned?
He shouldn’t be asked to pay someone else to raise his son.
I think what he meant is that every male is (usually) born with the ability to become a father. It takes a special kind of man to be a dad. Same as females in my opinion.

President Barack Obama: "It doesn't make you a man to make a baby."
Levi is a few fries short of a happy meal. He thinks he understand that his handlers are using him as a weapon, but what he doesn’t realize is that they are trying to degrade Palin by first degrading and making a mockery of him, and then trying to associate him with her. And releasing the Playgirl photos when Palin’s book comes out is hardly an accident - this is Clintonian filthwar to the max.
Welcome to Cambridge! LOL
Levi Johnston, the K-Fed of politics.
Levi Johnston Sees Himself In His Son
“He’s always looking to mess things up, break things. He’s crazy.”
Yes, likewise the title of MOM means more than spreading your legs and popping out a kid. If that is all the woman is doing - then all that she has accomplished is incubation.
Baby daddy seems to be the ebonics synonym.
exactly!
You mean San Fransisco, don't you?
“”Are you calling women ‘incubators’ and telling them that the title of ‘mother’ has to be earned?”
Sounds reasonable to me. A guy like him is no “father”,,sperm donor fits the bill pretty well. Likewise, some crack-addled woman who abandons a child, hasn’t earned the title “mother”.
How long before the headline is “Bristol Palins Sues Dirt-Bag Levi Johnston for Back Child Support?
Along the lines of presumption of innocence doctrine, fathers should be considered fathers, which they are, in lieu of specific conduct contravening that status.
‘Special’ seems to convey ‘uncommon’, and that would in turn a lack of faith in fathers in general.
Nope, California voters rejected queer marriage.
Is that really a subculture you advise emulating?
Obama is an idiot raised in a matriarchy.
Yet that is rarely said of women.
More commonly, the woman is portrayed as the deserted heroine by default, with the man being cast in the role of callous deserter by default, regardless of the reality of who the man and the woman actually are as individuals.
