Nathan Kress says becoming a father made him realize the importance of time
Becoming a father taught Kress many lessons, including realizing the importance of time. When he spoke to PEOPLE last year about being a father, he said, “It taught me that my time and my life don’t belong to me.”
“And that for this phase of life, there’s an incredible amount of investment needed to raise well-rounded, loving, kind children with character and integrity,” he explained.
“And because of that, I’ve had to really learn to prioritize my time and make the most of the time I have with my kids, but also not sacrifice too much time with my wife.”
Seeing “iCarly” again with her eldest daughter
Last year, Kress told PEOPLE he was rewatching the original series alongside his then 4-year-old daughter Rosie.
“When I found out the show was happening, we had a window of a few months where production hadn’t started yet, but I knew I was going to be involved. One of the research I wanted to do was to go back and watch the show because I knew there would be details that I would forget,” Kress told PEOPLE.
“I wanted to go back to how Freddie looked, how he talked, how he reacted to things. So I did the math on how many episodes of “iCarly” 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 I could watch all the episodes before going into production. So I started watching it with my eldest daughter.
Kress said rewatching the show with her daughter was fun for both of them.
“She has her little routine when the credits roll. It goes by all the names. She’s like, ‘There’s daddy! Here is dad! Here is dad! Dad!” he shared. “It was a lot of fun doing this with her and having content that even though she’s young she can still understand and appreciate. And it’s actually been a weird bonding experience for us.
