"I'm on comfortable terms with my father," he began. �"He's my role model. �Of course I was unable to talk about all of this and that with my father like a friend, but we did converse honestly. �I even freely asked him for advice on my troubles. �We were close since I was young. �When the casting offer came in, I was a bit concerned about it. �My heart was not at ease about it. �However, my father turned out to have ambitions for TV. �He started a diet stating that he'll get rid of his belly fat right away," and laughed.

That's cute!
