'It's kind of screwed my career in a lot of ways. Because I don't really care about [my career] so much because I care about her so much. She's like number one in my life. And now I get to do movies on the side.
'Daddy's my best role to date, I think.'
The actor, who also shared a photo of his daughter Ava, admitted it has been tough juggling working on a big-budget movie shoot with finding the time to see his daughter.

The Hurt Locker star will continue to share 50/50 custody with the Canadian model, who will receive $13,000 a month to care for the toddler.
The 23-year-old beauty, who accused the actor of stealing her passport, birth certificate and social security card after their split late last year, will not receive any spousal support as per the former couple's prenuptial agreement.
Sonni filed for divorce from the North Country star in 2014 after ten months of marriage.
Even without a divorce and a young daughter, Jeremy is looking at a busy year.
He has four films in the pipeline, including the upcoming thriller Captain America: Civil War.
The action movie boasts a cast of Scarlett Johansson and Robert Downey Jr., and will hit U.S. theatres on May 6, 2016.
