JAKARTA - Handsome actor Kenny Austin is now enjoying his new role as a father. However, this happiness is accompanied by a big challenge, especially when he has to return to the set and leave his newborn child.
"It must be really hard. I also want to see the child grow up, but with this shooting I spend almost half the day on location," said Kenny Austin when he was met in the Jakarta area, Wednesday, June 17.
Although he feels heavy, the 34-year-old actor realizes that the demands of professionalism must still be carried out. For him, working in the world of acting is part of his responsibility to his family.
"But yeah, what's the point, life must go on, right. We... basically if we don't shoot, break, or on Sunday I usually always spend time with my wife and children," he continued.
Kenny admitted that he was very careful about the quality of his meetings with his child. He even tried hard to make sure that his work schedule did not take up time on weekends.
"It is tried on weekends, so I really try on weekends if I can, I'm on vacation," said the actor of The Devil's Face.
The moment of parting every morning before going to work is also emotional for Kenny. He always takes the time to do a small ritual to let go of the longing for a while.
"Before leaving, I must kiss for a while, a while, before leaving goodbye. Well, at least that's the minimum," said Kenny.
The change in status from husband to father was felt by Kenny to bring a big difference, especially in terms of long-distance communication. He felt that video calls were no longer enough to satisfy his longing.
"Before having children, we can video call (with my wife). But if it's with the child, sometimes if you video call, the child can't, you can't reply. The point is that the interaction is different," he said.
For Kenny, direct physical interaction is something that no technology can replace.
"The good thing is actually interacting directly," he added briefly.
Fortunately, his wife gave Kenny full support to his busy schedule. The similarities in the background of the work made his wife very understanding of the risk of time that must be sacrificed.
"Full support is for sure, and he works in the same field, he should also understand this situation. This is a decision between the two of us, me and my wife, not my own decision," he concluded.
