Elsewhere in his recent podcast appearance, Duhamel discussed what it’s like leaving behind his children — Axl, 11, and Shepherd, 1 — while traveling as an actor.
“I think that’s the worst part about this job is that you’re gone a lot. I miss a lot of things,” he said. “With Axl, I was in London. I just directed a movie called Preschool … and I was gone for, like, three months. He came for nine days of it, but I missed all of his soccer.”
The star was upset that he didn’t get to see any of his child’s basketball games last season either.
“That kind of stuff just kills me because, you know, you don’t get that time back,” he expressed. “I’m still present, but not being there for that stuff kills me.”
The film star shares his oldest son with his ex-wife, Fergie, and his youngest with his current spouse, Audra Mari.
