I've seen him around his kids, and I know his daughter Drena, and they have a beautiful relationship. And I think he's a great guy, you know, a great dad, a great person — a great human being.”
Talking about his parenthood, and its evolution, the father of seven said, "I have certain awareness — when you’re older you have awareness of certain things in life, dynamics, everything, family dynamics." before adding "You can’t avoid learning certain things and how you can deal with those and manage them and this and that, the usual. It's amazing, but I'm very happy about it," reports People.
