The 40-year-old, who has daughters Violet, six, and Seraphina, three and nine-month-old son Samuel, says he wants to make his kids proud by h is f ilms.
"I don't mean I wanted someone to sit by the fire with. But when you have a family and children, you kind of see yourself reflected in them.
"I want to make the kinds of movies that my kids are proud of. I have higher standards, in a way, for them," he said.
