Jack Black reveals the ‘anxiety of parenting’ as he shares his fears as a father: ‘We’re always worried’
Jack Black is known for his funny personality and light-hearted approach to life.
But when it comes to his children, the comedy actor is deadly serious and has revealed that he fears for his children just like any other father.
The 54-year-old has two sons, sons Samuel, 17, and Thomas, 15, with his wife Tanya Haden.
“As parents, we are always concerned about (our children’s) future; Will they be able to leave the nest and fly? Did I teach them well? Did I do it right?’ Black told the Daily telegram on Saturday.
“That’s just part of the daily worries of parenting, but it’s also a beautiful thing; the care and the love that you have for another human being that you didn’t even know you were capable of, it’s pretty amazing,” he added.

Jack is currently in Sydney, Australia for the premiere of Kung Fu Panda 4 in Bondi.
The Holiday actor has been married to wife Tanya, a successful singer and cellist, since 2006.
They met twenty years earlier because they both attended the same private school in Los Angeles.
“My children are magical creatures and I love them dearly,” the father of two said in 2011.
‘But it is a challenge. It takes a lot of energy,” he added.

Samuel has already added some notable credits to his resume, including voicing a small role, a bunny, in Kung Fu Panda 3 in 2016, in which his father reprized his leading role.
Samuel also contributes to his father’s YouTube channel Jablinski Games, dedicated to gaming.
Actor and musician Black was the co-star of High Fidelity in 2000, which led to numerous high-profile Hollywood roles such as Gulliver’s Travels and Shallow Hal.
However, he became a household name for playing the renegade teacher in School of Rock and leading a bunch of misfit teenagers in a battle of the bands.
He received critical acclaim and a Golden Globe nomination in the Best Actor category for the role.
Black also plays the role of the children’s cartoon character Kung Fu Panda alongside Dustin Hoffman.
In addition to his acting, Black is the lead singer of the rock band Tenacious D, which he co-founded with his longtime friend Kyle Gass.
