He said that his father did what he thought was right at the time, so he doesn't hold it against him.

He said: "I've grown to that point where I'm like, okay my old man was doing according to what he knows was right, probably if he knew more, things would have been a bit different.

"It's not like we're always fighting and all that but I don't want to raise my kids the way I grew up under my old man, so I'm trying to be different."
