At first, Zac Clark had no interest in being on The Bachelorette

When Zac Clark first got the call that producers were interested in him for “The Bachelorette,” he nearly ended his chances at ever being a reality star. “My first thought was ‘Lose my number. You have the wrong number. I don’t know what you’re talking about,’” he told us. Yet, after further discussion, he realized that his sister was the one who had set him up for the phone call — so he decided to carry on the conversation.
After a few more phone calls and meeting with producers, Clark was officially cast as one of the eligible bachelors on the series, fighting for the love of Clare Crawley. Spoiler alert, if you didn’t already know: that never happened. Fast forward a few episodes, and Crawley was already out the door with a man named Dale Moss (via Glamour). Season 16 was one that completely changed the game for the show, and funnily enough, Clark didn’t know any differently. “I had maybe seen a couple episodes over the years,” he confessed. Luckily, a bachelorette named Tayshia Adams walked in, and Clark’s life changed forever. He ended up winning her heart at the end of the season, and now the two are engaged. “I didn’t have much idea of what I was signing up for,” he admitted. “But sometimes that’s better. Right?”
Zac Clark, along with his family, recently received the Richard J. Caron Award of Excellence for their support of Caron Treatment Centers and is slated to run the London Marathon and New York City Marathon to raise funds for the Release Recovery Foundation.
