Speaking to E!, Jesse praised the casting of Gerry, who is 72.

“I think they just felt like they found the guy,” he shared. “He has just been so incredible. He’s so personable. He’s so loving. He was the perfect person to do this.”

Jesse then spoke about how Golden Bachelor‘s journey is the same, but different, too.

“There’s a different maturity level,” Jesse said. “And I think that just comes from experience in life and emotional maturity as well that the women, that Gerry, have.”

He continued, “The way that they decipher problems, the way that they think about some of the situations that they’re in—whenever they face adversity, it’s pretty interesting. It’s a very, very resilient group of people. That’s probably been one of the more surprising things for me.”

Gerry had a say in the age range of the women who were cast, and speaking of them, meet them all now!

The Golden Bachelor will debut on September 28 on ABC.
