Simon Pegg calls daughter greatest thing in his life #IndiaNEWS #Cinema /Showbiz,Human Interest/Society,Hollywood
Los Angeles, July 24 (IANS) Star Trek actor Simon Peggs daughter is the single greatest thing to have happened to him.
The 52-year-old actor, who has 13-year-old Matilda with wife Maureen McCann, would happily relive the time his little girl was born over again because it was such an amazing and profound experience, reports aceshowbiz.com.
He said: If I could live any time in my life again, it would definitely be the four days I spent in St. Johns hospital in Santa Monica when my daughter was born. I flew back from filming Paul and my wife and I went to get a Starbucks, then we drove to the hospital, and we had a child, and it was amazing.
She was born to Girl by The Beatles. Then the first song that came on after I cut the cord was Tomorrow Never Knows, my favourite Beatles song, so I was bobbing around the operating theatre to that, Simon continued.
We stayed in hospital for a few days, ordering pizza. July 4 came and we had a curry and watched the fireworks from our window.
He continued: And I just remember it being such a profound moment; suddenly we were three and it was beautiful. Whenever Tillys birthday comes around I tell her that story and now shes like, Oh shut up dad, I know, you had a Starbucks, you went to the hospital, blah blah blah.
But for me that was, you know, because shes the single greatest thing thats ever happened to me in my life. So that can really be the only answer to that question.
The actor recalled going through a depressive period when he went to university because he missed the amazing friends he had made at drama school, reports aceshowbiz.com.
After I finished my first two years away from home (at drama school), I fell into my depressive period. I think that was the shock of having just met this group of amazing people and then losing them, because I then left Stratford and went to the University of Bristol. That was a really hard summer, he told The Big Issue.
I grappled with a lot of emotional anxiety. I look back and I realize it was basically abandonment that I was suffering from.
But I didnt know that at the time, I didnt know why I couldnt get out of bed, he continued. One thing Id definitely say to my younger self is, this will pass. Id remind myself of that every time I stopped believing in my ability.
He added: When I was going through bouts of depression I had that feeling of, it doesnt matter if Im talented, it doesnt matter if people want to work with me. I dont know if I can be a****. It would be good to always know that feeling would pass.
