The main thing in my mind is like trying to be a good example to her, like in terms of, you know, I can do things and I can achieve things and I can overcome things and you can do this too. And to let things like, you know, a feeling stop you from doing that after having a child feels like a really small thing.
Like, I feel like I've like had to step up, you know, as a man or just, you know, as a person.
um and be this example to her that doesn't uh succumb to these feelings that's why i'm even doing this interview you know like i i used to get a lot of anxiety around like having a conversation like this just in this kind of environment and i want her to be able to look at me and be like yo my dad's doing this you know he's he's the man he's cool yeah he's he's a cool guy yeah so um that's helped me a lot for sure that is
And I don't think that's the way you can look at it. You know, I think everybody's situation is individual. I think it takes an individual experience then to happen for somebody to overcome that too.
For sure.
I enjoyed it. That was the thing. I enjoyed being in that feeling. And then it got to a certain point, I think, where it just became too much. It just was weighing on me, that feeling of... like anticipation and then getting the adrenaline and then the after feeling of that, you know? As a young kid, I loved it. Like I loved being on stage and I loved performing.
It was like a free space for me to go and be a character because it was, you know, I was playing a role in some little school performance. It was nothing serious. When it became a thing that had a lot of weight behind it in terms of, you know, people watching and stuff, then you're going to have... You're going to have natural feelings of anxiety.
Um, just the idea of like, um, like not being able to just do normal things, like to just go outside and like walk out onto the street, you know, like, cause where we lived, it was kind of a bit crazy and there's just people always there like waiting to take a photo and stuff. And obviously. Thinking about having a child and raising her in that environment, it was just very claustrophobic for me.
I didn't want her to have to be exposed to that because she didn't choose it. It was a choice that I made. So I was like, we need to get out of here so that she can have some chance of a normal childhood where there's not cameras flashing in her face constantly.
deciding to move here i can imagine you're trying to shield her from this life that you also are still trying to figure out like is it a lot um i feel like um there's there's a there's a healthy way to do it you know um i'm not necessarily trying to shield her from it because she's she's gonna know you know she's gonna get to a certain point she's gonna have
at a certain level of awareness, she doesn't know what's going on. I'm just trying to give her an option, you know? So it's like a choice for her. Like, if she wants to be away from it, she can be out here, like, because... I am a famous person and I get sanctuary, you know what I'm saying?
So I feel like she is going to have a lot of options and whatever she wants to do in her life, obviously I'll support her for sure.
the crazy thing is obviously I have her 50% of the time so that time I have with her is so important because I feel like she's growing up so fast like so when I'm with her I don't work like at all I just spend a full day with her doing the things that she wants to do like painting playdoh this that go to the park go to the theme park go to the zoo like we just have fun like and I feel like I've like
rekindled my own childhood through her, you know what I'm saying? I feel like we get to a certain point in adult life where everything's kind of vague and gray and boring, and she's brought that color back for me, for sure, yeah.
um what is a dad quality that you've proudly taken on that makes you laugh a little when you think about it of like oh my gosh i can't believe i'm doing this i keep being told i'm telling dad jokes and i'm leaning into it i'm just like it's okay it's cool like i'm using like christmas cracker jokes and stuff and it's really funny like people just look at me like i'm a weirdo i'm like yeah i'm a dad now i'm allowed to tell these jokes you have to give me a pass wow zane i didn't expect that i'm not gonna lie i love a dad joke
That's it, yeah. I'm going full dad.
We'll save that for another time. Okay.
My favorite thing to do with her is she shows a lot of signs of like musical intelligence already. So I just love like playing instruments with her and singing with her. Like I'll sing and she sings along and she can do like
good harmonies and stuff already and she's only two and a half like and she harmonizes with me well and like finishes notes and she can hold them for a long time I'm like you might have a bit of ability you um I'm picturing the two of you playing with play-doh and you start singing and then your daughter starts singing she can hit these high notes like falsetto like yeah it's crazy I'm like yo like whoa you're
I couldn't do this. I didn't speak till I was three. How the fuck do you sing? It's mad.
