‘Robert De Niro and Al Pacino became dads at 80, so I got time. I have to make my career happen first, then I can have time,’ he joked.
The movie star’s sweet comments come just weeks after his sister Eva revealed that she and her long time boyfriend had somewhat of a ‘non-verbal agreement’ when it came to her giving up acting and being a ‘full-time mom’ to their two young daughters.
While Ryan has continued to make movies since welcoming his children, Eva has taken a backseat and hasn’t starred in a film for a decade now.
During an appearance on Today just weeks ago, Eva was asked what it was like going from acting to being a full-time parent.
To which she replied: ‘It was like a no brainer. I’m so lucky, and I was like, if I can have this time with my children… and I still worked, I just didn’t act because acting takes you on locations, it takes you away.’
Referring to her partner of 13 years, Eva continued: ‘It was almost just like a non-verbal agreement that it was like, “Okay he’s going to work and I’m going to work, I’m just going to work here.”‘
Eva and Ryan met one another when they starred alongside each other in the 2012 film The Place Beyond the Pines, and she explained that she ‘pretty much stopped acting after that.’
‘I have never experienced anything like that. The way he works, his commitment to his craft, how he wants to make everything as best as it can be, and that means making his costars as best as they can be. But unfortunately – or fortunately – there is only one Ryan!’ she said.
Eva went on to share her thoughts on Ryan’s memorable performance of the hit Barbie song I’m Just Ken at this year’s Academy Awards, which saw him take to the stage with Mark Ronson and Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash.
‘He went and he did his job. He just happens to be really good at his job, and he did it and he came home,’ she said, before explaining her hilarious Instagram post in which she told Ryan to ‘come home’ to ‘put the kids to bed.’
‘Because that’s what it’s about,’ she said. ‘You go, you do your job the best you can and then you come home.’

Ryan recently revealed how Eva and their two daughters gave him helpful ‘tips’ for his performance at the 96th Oscars.
During an interview at SXSW film festival in Austin, Texas, earlier this month he told People: ‘It was great. It was so fun because they came to the dress rehearsal the day before and so they were in the front row.’
‘They gave me some tips and some notes, all great notes,’ the La La Land star added.
