Little Lucia

When Lucia was younger, Mel gushed about her lively personality.

“She’s so cool. It’s amazing. It’s full of wonder … and I’m not a youngster any more. It’s my second daughter. I’m getting a chance to do it better,” he told Extra in November 2014.

Journey to Fatherhood

The Braveheart actor will be the first to admit that fatherhood has been an adjustment, but he hopes to learn from his past mistakes.

“As a parent, everybody screws up. There’s no such thing as a perfect parent and it’s so easy to mess up. But hopefully I’ve screwed up less than most,” Mel told The Sunday Times in November 2016.
