Nick Cannonis discussing his differences in parenting when it comes to being a dad to his sons and daughters.
On Wednesday’s episode of his eponymous daytime show,Nick Cannon, the 41-year-old sits down withDon Johnson, 71, for a candid discussion about fatherhood.
“As a dad who has some daughters too, I need some advice in that space as well,” Cannon says to Johnson, who has five children – Dakota, 32, Jesse, 38, Grace, 21, Jasper, 19, and Deacon, 15 – from various relationships. “You’re looking at me like I’m in for it.”
“Brother, you are in for it,” Johnson replies with a laugh. “I have four boys and two girls. I’m more scared of the girls than any of the boys.”
“I say the same thing,” Cannon, who is a father of seven, says. “Think about having daughters, they control you. You’re wrapped around their fingers. My boys … they’re fun, we can wrestle. Soon as my daughter comes into the room, I’m a different human being.”
