In this interview you get the impression he has/had some idea of how lucky he was, but he doesn't quite make the leap that it's profoundly unusual for parents to stake their family's financial security on their kids.

He mastered the art of false modesty quite early on, and he's still going strong with it today. Except now there's more humblebragging.

I'd be very interested to know what he thinks of it now. When you look at something like "The Hollywood Complex" through adult eyes, it's a horror story.

Oh yeah. This whole "celebrity parents" thing where so-called mature adults do their damndest to make their kid famous so they can rake in the cash is absolutely grotesque. The fact that it sometimes works doesn't make it any less disgusting or morally reprehensible.
