He’s on a gap year in kung-fu camp in China, living in a monastery. He’s never had that kind of regimen. I told him, ‘For you to go forward in life, it’s very important for you to have that kind of structure.’ Next he’ll go to France to cook—he already speaks French.”
“My daughter has a dance class, and I learned [a routine] with her,” he continued. “It’s fun to have a good time with them. My wife and I laugh a lot—we’ve got a great relationship. She’s such a dynamic individual and one of my greatest protectors.”
