Patrick reflected on his non-existent bond with his kids. “Given that I’m separated from my children now, – we don’t have relationships – they have become very important. I never thought that this would happen, but both my children are in their 50s – they’re not children anymore, they’re adults. And my relationship with them is practically non-existent,” he told the Irish Independent. He said this after he was asked if he found it difficult to be the father he wanted to be when his children were younger.

The X-Men actor explained why his relationship with his children is the way it is, he said: “I always put my acting work first, before my family.” He continued to say – “I could’ve done better as a parent, when my kids were little. I was just obsessed with my work and everything else took second place. I’m trying to correct that now wherever possible with my grandchildren [he has four]. And my own children seem to have forgiven me.“

“When I got married and I had children, I missed huge amounts of time,” Patrick told the Daily News in 2015. “I would see my kids on Sundays if I was lucky. It was hard on my kids.”

I tried to be more professional than anyone else, to not be late, not mess around, because I didn’t want people to say, ‘He’s the slacker son of so-and-so because I’ve met people who have got by hanging on to the coattails of a famous relative.’”
