“I literally just left the hospital and got on a plane, and came here. The deal was: ‘Look, if my daughter has not arrived yet, then I’m not going, but tell them I most likely will go,’” Nic told People.

“I would not have been here, but I kept my word, and I’m here honoring my commitment,” Nic added. “But I’m looking forward to getting back to my wife and my daughter.”

Baby August joins Nic‘s two sons – Weston, 31, and Kal-El, 16, from previous relationships.

Now that his daughter’s here, Nic said he’s interested in making movies that she will enjoy.

“I want to make some movies that will bring a smile to her face and some laughter, absolutely,” Nic said. “Some more animated movies perhaps — show her some Croods 1, Croods 2…”
