Nathan Kress Said Becoming A Father Made Him Realize The Importance Of Time
Becoming a father has brought plenty of lessons for Kress, including the realization of the importance of time. When talking to PEOPLE last year about being a father, he said, "It has taught me that my time and my life are not my own."
"And that for this phase of life, there's an incredible amount of investment that's required to raise well-rounded, loving, kind children with character and integrity," he explained.
"And for that reason, I've had to really learn to prioritize my time and make the most of the time that I have with my kids, but then also not sacrificing too much of my time with my wife."
Rewatching "iCarly" With His Oldest Daughter
Last year, Kress told PEOPLE he was rewatching the original series alongside his then 4-year-old daughter Rosie.
"When I knew that the show was happening, we had a few-month window where production hadn't started yet but I knew that I was going to be involved. One of the research pieces that I wanted to do was to go back through and watch the show because I knew there were going to be details that I would forget," Kress told PEOPLE.
"I wanted to get back into what Freddie sounded like, how he talked, how he reacted to things. So I did the math on how many episodes of 'iCarly' there were, and how little time I had between when the kids went to bed and when I had to go to bed. I knew there was no way that I was going to be able to watch all of the episodes before we went into production. So I actually did start watching it with my oldest daughter."
Kress said rewatching the show with his daughter was fun for both of them.
"She has her little routine when the credits go on. It goes through all the names. She's like, 'Here comes Daddy! Here comes Daddy! Here comes Daddy! Daddy!" he shared. "It's been very fun to do that with her and to have a piece of content that, even though she's young, she can still understand and enjoy. And it's actually been a bizarre bonding experience for us."
