The couple are already parents to a two-year-old son, after marrying in 2015.

Speaking about fatherhood, the actor said becoming a dad was by far the best thing that had ever happened to him.

'Having a family just changes your perspective on everything,' he told ET last year. 'I mean, it's a world changer.'

He says it's made him a better person, too.

'For me, it was the greatest thing that's ever happened to me,' added. 'Having kids is a game changer and I think you're always walking around with the mentality that you want to make sure that they're proud and you want to represent them well and just be a great leader.'

Consequently, the 35-year-old says he's now selective about the roles he plays and the projects he takes on.

'Just last week a project came up, and just due to the content alone, it wasn't something that I [want] my son to see when he grows up,' he confessed. 'It's not the type of material and I didn't feel like the payoff was worth it.' 

'You really have to weigh each choice, but at the same time, it is a job and it is just a craft - it's art performances. I don’t take it too seriously but I also want it to creatively push me. I want to take chances and I want to do things that are going to scare the crap out of me.'
