According to The Guardian, McAvoy shared the family update while discussing life at home with Liberati and their young son. He said, “Having a kid at 42 is definitely easier in some ways.” He added, “I worry less. I’m a bit more philosophical. But it’s also harder, because you’re just older and tireder.” The Guardian also reported that McAvoy declined further comment “for fear of creating tabloid fodder.”
