Josh Duhamel recently shared insights into his experience as a father in his 50s during a conversation with PEOPLE. The Transformer actor revealed that his one-year-old son, Shepherd, serves as his primary motivation for maintaining his fitness.
“For so many years I probably didn’t eat right, I probably drank too much and it was hurting me in a lot of ways,” he admitted. “I wasn’t as clear as I needed to be and I wasn’t focused on the right stuff.”
However, Duhamel now prioritizes living a life with healthy habits for the sake of his children.
“I want to be able to run around with my kids, I want to roll around in the dirt with them. I want to get out there and water-ski, jet-ski and ski and play basketball and football, all the things,” the proud father expressed.
Gushing about his toddler, he noted, “He’s boundless, very, very active. He started walking early — in his ninth month.”
Duhamel added, “He’s so fun. He loves to throw a ball and is trying to play catch. And I don’t want to sit on the couch and watch him, I want to get down on the floor with him to play.”
It’s worth noting that Josh Duhamel shares his one-year-old son Shepherd with his wife Audra Mari, and his 11-year-old son Axl with his ex-wife Fergie.
