“I feel gross about it,” the father of three told GQ.

“The fact that we have money and their parents are famous, that somehow they’re special, that scares me because we grew up with no money.

“I remember saving up for a surfboard when I was younger. The surfboard was 600 bucks and I saved up for a whole year with Dad’s help. I didn’t even want to surf on it for fear of damaging it. It taught me so many lessons about appreciation and working hard for something.

“When I think about my kids, I don’t want them to miss that joy.

“(Wife) Elsa (Pataky) and I talk a lot about how we instil that same appreciation and respect for things. I don’t want them to feel like they’re privileged in any way.”
