Asked if he was getting any sleep at this stage, the actor admitted “not a lot” but that he is reminding himself to “enjoy it more” this time round.

He added: “The first time, it went too fast and I was so anxious for him to kind of develop so he could communicate and tell me what was wrong.

“And now I’m more patient with her. I’m trying to enjoy it more.”

Driver also joked that his daughter “likes him more” which has made things easier.

“When I was with my son he didn’t want anything to do with me for the first three years,” he added.
