“After a while, people will stop following you once they realize that all you do is pick up your kids from school and come home,” he added.
Jeremy went on to say that he feels “very lucky” that his “normal life is very simple” as he continues to co-parent with Addison.
As for what his typical routine is like with his daughters, Jeremy shared, “I made breakfast for my daughters, took them to school and later I will pick them up and make dinner. I have seven dinner dishes I do well, and three my children enjoy. You do the prep, then they take a bite and just ask for chicken nuggets.”
Also in the interview, Jeremy talked about how his roles in The Bear and the upcoming Bruce Springsteen biopic, Deliver Me From Nowhere, require his full attention, which means he’s away from his kids.
“I’m getting paid to put myself in painful places,” he explained. “On The Bear, it’s not like I walk around punching walls and screaming in my closet. But I stay close to that energy and it’s uncomfortable—and filming the Bruce movie was incredibly difficult. I was in isolation. I was far from my children. I didn’t travel home much.”
He added, “It made me unwell and when I came out of it I thought, ‘There has to be a better way.’”
In another recent interview, Jeremy revealed what it was really like to sing as Bruce in Deliver Me From Nowhere, which hits theaters on October 24.
