Jason Sudeikis: Being dada is funny

OHMYGOSSIP — Jason Sudeikis finds it “intoxicating” when his 17-month-old son Otis calls him ‘Dada’. The ‘Sleeping With Other People’ actor – who has 17-month-old Otis with fiancee Olivia Wilde – was stunned at how “intoxicating” it felt when the little boy began to know who he was and could say his name.

He said: “He calls me Dada. I think that’s hilarious, mind-blowingly hilarious.

“Maybe not hilarious in the conventional sense of a Chris Rock joke, or a Louis C.K. T.V. show, but it’s hilarious to me. I never thought that was going to happen and that it would be so intoxicating when it did.”

The 39-year-old star and his 31-year-old partner love seeing their little boy grow and develop interests in things like basketball and reggae music, but insist they can’t take all the credit.

He joked to People: “We just watched a lot of Bear Grylls. We love … every second we get with him in our busy lives, and we surround him with people that do the exact same at all times.”

He then added: “It takes a village… We have a tiny village known as Brooklyn.”

And Jason and Olivia think it is essential to stay in regular contact when they have to go away with their work.

He added: “It really comes down to communication, and using all of these devices that we use too often to distance ourselves, to actually bring us closer together.”
