Although Martin experienced the joy of Fatherhood late in life at the age of 67, he has always acted father role in some of his movies. Journalists were eager to find out how it felt to be a father at that age and Martin promptly replied that he would have been a lousy father if he had become a father at an earlier age because he would have been more focused on his career and disregarded his children, but now, he has a lot of free time to play with his daughter.
