Jeremy Allen White<\/strong> is getting candid about his fatherhood duties. The 34-year-old shares two children<\/a> with his ex-wife, actress Addison Timlin<\/strong>, and the former couple have a joint custody agreement in place.<\/p>\n Speaking with The Times<\/a> ahead of the release of his Bruce Springsteen biopic, Deliver Me from Nowhere<\/em>, White quipped that sometimes his daughters Ezer, 7, and Dolores, 5, will ask, \u201cWhy did somebody make Dad\u2019s face so large?\u201d when they see him on billboards.<\/p>\n Though he was already known for the long running Showtime comedy drama series Shameless<\/em> when his girls were born, White\u2019s career exploded when he landed the career-turning role of Carmy on FX\u2019s The Bear<\/em>. For both the actor and his kids, the sudden fame took a bit of an adjustment.<\/p>\n \u201cThere have been periods in the last few years where there has been more scrutiny, or something going on in my personal life that has been of interest, and none of that is welcome,\u201d White told the publication. \u201cYou want as much anonymity as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cBut I feel very lucky, he continued. \u201cI\u2019ve been doing this since I was 15 and all things considered I\u2019m all right and I get to do the thing that I love and if the trade-off is, on occasion, having somebody follow me around with a camera, that\u2019s OK.\u201d<\/p>\n Before getting cast as Lip on Shameless<\/em> in 2011, White appeared in a handful of films, including 2008\u2019s Afterschool <\/em>where he reconnected with Timlin after the pair attended high school together.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd 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. My life\u2014my normal life\u2014is very simple,\u201d he explained. \u201cLike today. I made breakfast for my daughters, took them to school and later I will pick them up and make dinner.\u201d<\/p>\n When asked if he can cook like his onscreen alter ego, White admitted that he actually can. \u201cI have seven dinner dishes I do well, and three my children enjoy,\u201d he quipped. \u201cYou do the prep, then they take a bite and just ask for chicken nuggets.\u201d<\/p>\n White comes off like quite the doting dad, as he did at the 2024 Emmy awards when he shouted out his daughter<\/a>s during his acceptance speech for outstanding lead actor in The Bear<\/em>.<\/p>\n \u201cEzer and Louie, I love you so, so, so, so much,\u201d he said at the end of his speech. \u201cYou are my heart. Thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
