Comedian Frank Skinner talks about becoming a dad aged 55 and why he tried to put a curse on Daniel Craig.
Skinner continued, extolling the virtues of aging, relishing the freedom it brings to opt out of things and savour the simpler pleasures in life.
“I’m not troubled by FOMO. Dog; cardigan; Strictly on the telly: I’m very happy with my lot,” he said.
But perhaps the crowning glory of Skinner's later years is his role as a father. In 2012, he and partner Cath Mason welcomed their son Buzz into the world. Even though, at 55, he was an older dad, Skinner is unabashedly revelling in parenthood.
"I love being a father,” he said. “It's the best thing I've ever done, and I'd much rather be less successful as a comedian and more successful as a father."
