He was spotted chatting with a man, presumed to be another parent, as they stood waiting in front of some palm trees.

Chris showed off his movie star smile as he spoke with the man, and seemed happy and relaxed.  

One of the actor’s young sons seemed desperate to get his dad’s attention, frantically waving something in front of him as he spoke.

Speaking to GQ Australia in October 2018, Chris confessed that he still struggled to understand how his sons could be ‘so different’ despite being twins.

‘I don’t get how I can teach them the same thing but they be so different?’ he told the publication at the time.

‘Tristan is so athletic but there’s not an aggressive bone in his body. He’s the most emotional one.

‘Whereas Sasha is like a little gangster. The other day, we were in the park and something happened with Tristan and another kid. He comes over in tears.’

Chris said following that incident, Sasha went over and confronted the offending kid on his brother’s behalf, after learning he’d pushed Tristan. 

‘Sasha goes over to this older kid, taps him on the shoulder and says, “Why’d you push my brother?” I’m stood there thinking, I should step in, but this is awesome,’ he added.

In an interview with GQ Australia in May, Chris said that the older his children get, the ‘harder’ he finds it to be away from them for work.

‘For a little while you don’t think the kids notice and then you realise they do,’ he explained. 

He said he’s torn between wanting to make movies that he’s ‘proud of’ and being at home with his family, and confessed he worries that he’ll look back and realise he’s ‘missed it all’.
