The actor admitted that beginning a film career at an older age is more normal now because people are going through college in their 20s.
“Thirty four is late to be starting from scratch,” he told the Sunday Indo Living.
“It’s not so bad now because people are going to college through their 20s – but I had four kids and stuff so I was well into a whole life before starting another.”
