"They are at a very important age. They are still young and they are aware when I leave more than before. "The hunky actor is a dad to a daughter, India, seven, and twin boys Sasha and Tristan, five.

He told Australia's GQ magazine his absences were also very hard on his daughter India.

Chris explained: "She's normally like, 'Yeah, see you, daddy. Cool.'

"[This time when I left] she was like, 'Papa! Papa! Papa!' She doesn't always call me Papa, either."
