He became a father for the first time at the age of 62, and though Jeff Goldblum is relishing in his new family role, he feels he probably still 'wasn't ready' until now. 

While on the promotional circuit for his latest film Independence Day: Resurgence, the actor, now 63, says he's 'crazy' about his son Charlie Ocean. 

Despite his late-coming to the world of parenthood, the ever-dapper American star said he doesn't regret not having children earlier.

'I think everything happens right on time,' he told The Sydney Morning Herald in an article published in this weekend's Spectrum magazine. 

'I probably wasn't ready before this. I hope it's not too late but I'm enjoying it now,' he said.

Charlie's birth comes of special significance for the Independence Day star, as his wife, rhythmic gymnast and dancer Emilie Livingston, 33, gave birth to their son on the 4th of July.

Jeff starred in the original Independence Day that was released in 1996 alongside Will Smith, and has recently celebrated the release of the sequel in which he stars with Liam Hemsworth.

The salt-and-pepper haired start recently opened up to Interview Magazine about becoming a father and his early nights to bed. 

Talking to Fred Armisen, the star explained how he and his wife had restructured their days since becoming parents.

'Usually I go to bed early because I have this young son, who was born on the Fourth of July this last year... and he has a very structured routine,' said Jeff

'We, the three of us, get in the bathtub at about 6:20, and then we usually order food in because our kitchen is being remodeled right now - really, the whole house has been benefiting from our nesting instinct.

'Usually, we go to bed at like, 8, 9 o'clock, get up when he gets up, at 6:45ish, 7 o'clock.'
