‘Nothing stops that’

At the 2026 Palm Springs International Film Festival, as he collected the Chairman Award  he said: “I sometimes think about it, (if) I didn’t click that year and I did go work for my dad, what my life would be right now. First off, I’m thinking I’d probably still be married to my wife, Jackie. That’s destiny. Nothing stops that.”

He jokingly said: “But we definitely (would) have a different house. Probably, like, 10 less bathrooms and (fewer) statues of me.”
