He told 'Entertainment Tonight', 'The main thing is to support your kids. As long as they're not hurting themselves, doing anything destructive or anything like that, you have to support them, period. Even if you don't go with it—you have to support them. And they have to know that you support them. Always'.
The 'Goodfellas' star hailed his youngest child as "just pure joy". He added, 'She's two now. It's always wonderful'.
As per 'Female First UK', the 'Meet the Fockers' actor previously told of how he "somehow makes it work" when it comes to juggling his career with raising a toddler.
He told E! News, "Yeah, she's great! She came on the 'Zero Day' set a few times, I shot that last year. You make it work, somehow. Sometimes I have her on the set with my girlfriend. I'm lucky, I have a camper'.
However, Robert admitted he doesn't change the youngster's diapers. Asked if he does, he recently told The Sunday Times magazine, "No, no, but I used to!" But the veteran actor enjoys spending early mornings with his little girl.
He said: "I'm an early riser. I spend my mornings watching (YouTuber for toddlers) Ms. Rachel with her, and I give her her bottle'.
Robert "tries his best" to be a good dad and to meet his children' s different needs. He said, "Oh God, they would all have a different answer. Family is so complex. I try my best, that's all. I hope they'll be happy'.

Liam Neeson—Pamela Anderson, Katy Perry—Justin Trudeau and Tom Cruise—Ana De Armas: Hollywood's romances are heating up
Romance rumours in Hollywood aren't new, but this latest wave of high-profile pairings has sparked more curiosity than usual. Maybe it's the way they show up together—casually, confidently, and often with just enough ambiguity to keep everyone guessing. Some met on set. Others were spotted mid-vacation. And while a few haven't said a word, others have offered just enough of a quote to fan the flames without confirming a thing. PAmela Anderson and Liam Neeson; Ana De Armas and Tom Cruise There's no hard-launching or red carpet declarations here—just a mix of shared glances, offhand comments, and a handful of candid moments that have led fans to wonder: is this just friendship, or something more? Here are five Hollywood pairings that have caught the spotlight. Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson While promoting their upcoming film The Naked Gun, Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson have drawn attention for their natural rapport. From red carpet antics and flirtatious interviews to Pamela reportedly baking cookies and sourdough for Liam, the pairing has fans speculating. The rumours picked up pace at the New York City premiere on Wednesday, where the two arrived with their respective children. During an Entertainment Tonight interview, they pretended to kiss. The next morning, on Today, after the host asked directly about the rumours, the pair responded with jokes, before Liam said, 'We discovered a lovely, budding chemistry, as two actors... Let's just allow it to unfold.' Earlier in May, Pamela had called their relationship as'professionally romantic.' Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau Katy Perry and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau were seen having dinner at Le Violon in Montreal, Canada. According to TMZ, it wasn't a quiet table in the back—rather, a visible two-hour meal with aides present. Those nearby said the atmosphere didn't feel like business. Katy leaned in throughout, and Justin appeared fully engaged. The two ended the evening by stepping into the kitchen to personally thank the chefs. Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas Hollywood star Tom Cruise and actor Ana de Armas were recently spotted walking hand-in-hand through Woodstock, Vermont on Wednesday. The pair were seen enjoying ice cream, shopping, and even taking a drive through a national park—with no attempts to go unnoticed. While, they've been seen together since February at dinners, events, and a helicopter ride, which was initially chalked up to work-related meetings, with no announced project between them, their latest public outing has seemingly confirmed the dating rumours. Jessica Alba and Danny Ramirez Jessica Alba and Captain America: Brave New World actor Danny Ramirez were seen sharing a kiss in public, as captured by TMZ. It's the most direct sign yet of a new relationship. Earlier this month, they were photographed returning from a Cancún getaway and later dining together in West Hollywood. Jessica, 44, and Danny, 32, had already sparked rumours, but the kiss has all but confirmed them. Jennifer Aniston and Jim Curtis Friends star Jennifer Aniston has been linked to wellness coach and 'master hypnotist' Jim Curtis. The two were first spotted in June at a hotel in California (US), where, according to Page Six, they were seen 'cuddling' during dinner. They were later seen together in Mallorca (Spain) over the Fourth of July weekend. Neither has commented, but the nature of their sightings has led to growing speculation about a possible new romance. Whether these connections blossom into long-term relationships or simply remain meaningful moments in the spotlight, each of these pairings offers a glimpse into the more personal side of Hollywood. Some have leaned into the attention, others have stayed quiet—but all have sparked conversation. In an industry where everything is public, it's the unspoken gestures, shared glances, and in-between moments that continue to keep us guessing.

Isha Koppikar recalls Nagarjuna slapping her 14 times for a scene in Chandralekha: ‘At the end I had marks on my face'
Bollywood actor Isha Koppikar began her acting career with Telugu films before moving to Bollywood, where she starred in movies like Don, LOC Kargil, and Salaam-e-Ishq: A Tribute to Love, among others. In a recent interview with Hindi Rush, Isha opened up about a behind-the-scenes moment from her second film Chandralekha, revealing she was slapped by Nagarjuna 14 times for a scene. Isha Koppikar recalls working with Nagarjuna during Chandralekha. When Nagarjuna slapped Isha Koppikar 14 times for a scene Isha recalled that during the shoot of Chandralekha, she asked Nagarjuna to slap her for real in order to truly feel the emotion of anger. She said, "I got slapped by Nagarjuna. I was a fully committed actor that I want to perform in a real, method way. So when he was slapping me, I couldn't feel it. This was my second film, so I told him, 'Nag, you really slap me.' He said, 'Are you sure? No, I can't.' I said, 'I want that feeling. I am not feeling it right now.' So he slapped me, but softly.' The actor went on to share how the director still couldn't capture the anger in her expression, which led to multiple retakes: 'In an attempt to look angry, I got slapped 14 times. At the end, I literally had slap marks on my face. Bechara mujhe leke baitha, bola sorry (Poor guy, he apologised to me). I said, 'I asked for it, why are you saying sorry?'' About Chandralekha The film marked Isha's debut as a lead actor in Telugu cinema. Directed by Krishna Vamsi, the comedy-drama also featured Nagarjuna, Ramya Krishnan, Murali Mohan, Chandra Mohan, Giri Babu, and Tanikella Bharani in key roles. It was a remake of the Malayalam film of the same name, originally directed by Priyadarshan. Isha Koppikar's recent work Isha was last seen in the 2024 sci-fi film Ayalaan, alongside Sivakarthikeyan and Rakul Preet Singh. The film also starred Sharad Kelkar, Karunakaran, Yogi Babu, David Broughton-Davies, Bhanupriya, and Bala Saravanan.
