Jack Black is a beloved figure in Hollywood. He’s loved by just about everyone, and while all the admiration from fans is nice, it would all mean nothing if he wasn’t also a father.
The 54-year-old family man was interviewed for NBC Nightly News: Kids Edition, and he was asked by journalist Craig Melvin’s 9-year-old son, Del, what his family life is like.
The biggest change in my life was starting a family. My wife and I having two boys and now they’re like 15 and 17 years old. That’s an amazing life changer. One of the greatest things about my life, really.
He shares both Sammy and Tommy with his wife, Tanya. They’ve been married since 2006, so you know it must be true love.
Del also asked Black what his favorite part about being a dad was, and Black’s answer was so sweet…
What’s my favorite part of being a dad? I just love it when we have walks and talks. And talk about life. Whenever they ask me a question or advice, something like that, which is rare now that they’re 15 and 17 years old, they’re like, ‘Ugh Dad, you’re so dumb.’ But whenever we’re able to share the things that are important in life, about friends and relationships and it really kind of gives life meaning.
We could not agree more, Black!
