The actor also said that he connected with the story of fatherhood, and how that made the making of the film that much more meaningful. Fraser shares three sons -- Griffin, 20, Holden, 18, and Leland, 16 -- with his ex-wife, Afton Smith. "I spent the first, I don't know, 25 years of my career or so making films that I generated all the hope and aspiration and joy from what I believed to be coming from a character or a screenplay, and then some alchemy happens when you have kids and suddenly everything clicks," the actor added."It somehow raises the stakes and somehow, for me at least, increases the authenticity of what we do.
However, the trouble comes when Charlie's health begins to decline."His time is limited," Fraser noted. "He wants very much to connect with his daughter. Because there's the tension that we're not always certain if he can, or if he's going to make it."
