He shared,
“There [are] times when I’ve thought, ‘Wow, because having kids is more important to me, some of my roles have suffered’. There’s definitely a couple of films I could’ve put way more energy into but I was like, ‘No, I’d rather be with my kids’.”
Taking care of his family is something important for him. He further added,
“I don’t regret that but I’m aware. You can’t completely dismiss what that pursuit does for you either. I often find myself saying it’s all for my family but in all this I definitely have personal things I need to achieve, too. The difference is you have to open yourself up and go, ‘Well, you had kids so you forfeited a bit of that’.”
While theSnow White and the Huntsmanactor has somewhat pointed himself to be the issue, he has tried his best to justify his role. After the release ofThor: Love and Thunderand filmingExtraction 2, he took some time off. Around the same time, his medical condition news hit the Internet.
