“What I meant by that was, I don't have that blueprint,” Barry explained. “Not many people do either. I don't have these kind of things that are in us to go, ‘Don't do that.’ Or, ‘My father taught me this song.’ And I don't have it from my mother either.”

And after noting his answer had been “twisted” online, he continued, “I ain't gonna feed them. I ain't gonna give them more material to go, ‘No, no, no, look, I'm with my child.’ Like, you don't deserve that.”

But while Barry’s glimpses into his life with Brando are rare, the Academy Award nominee has previously shared the ways his role as dad is the most significant one he’ll ever take on.

"It’s a very important thing for me—for him to be able to grow up and be proud of his daddy, and to lean on his daddy," he told Vanity Fair in February. "And if he has questions or anything, I’m always there for him in that sense of learning and growing with him and failing."
