“I want my kids, if and when they exist...I would love them to be around film sets,” said Daniel.

He continued, “A dream would be for them to come onto a film set and be like "God, you know, I’d love to be in the art department. I’d love to be something in the crew." Some part of this, but not from that.”

“While I enjoy acting, I would not want fame for my kid,” added What If actor.
