Meanwhile, Jason is currently anticipating the release of his mystery thriller film, The Gift, which hits theatres July 31st.

He stars as one half of a young married couple whose lives are thrown into a harrowing tailspin when an acquaintance from his past brings mysterious gifts and a horrifying secret to light after more than 20 years.

Joel Edgerton, who wrote and directed the film, is also starring as the mysterious gift-giver, Gordo.

In marketing the movie, the newly launched film and TV studio, STX Entertainment, sent around 50 bloggers, writers, and disc jockeys personalized and creepy gifts from a high school friend named Gordo.

'We wanted to convey the cleverness and creepiness of the film itself,' Oren Aviv, president and chief content officer of the motion picture group at STX, told Variety. 

'You have to create a sense of urgency and the more personalized the material, the more people will talk about it.'

Jack Pan, president of motion picture marketing at STX Entertainment, added: 'We thought one of the key hooks for the film is the question of if your past is ever really past in a world where everybody has a big social footprint.'

Jason previously discussed how being a family man has bled into his acting career.

He told Redbook: 'I try to stay within my skill set. So yeah, the fact that I'm playing more domesticated men, that's a big part of me now.'

Jason also delved into how he's made his 14 year marriage work.

'Our marriage has defied the odds and works really well,' he said. 'We are really aware of our boundaries. 

'We know how to bug each other and not bug each other. If you don't get along, it's garbage.

'With a girlfriend, you get into a fight, you drive away. With us, we learn to fight quickly or not at all. I wanted to marry a friend. Friends last longer.'

The father-of-two added that he doesn't like the idea of his children following in his footsteps from a young age.

'I'm not a fan of kids acting,' he said. 'I've been very lucky, but it is a profession that if you are really ambitious and you have a good work ethic and are qualified, it doesn't always help you.

'It can be counter productive. I don't know of any parent who would want their child to go into something that doesn't reward those qualities.'
