The new additions to the family will join the couple's 4-year-old son, as well as Kirke's son Cassius, 16, from a previous relationship.

While speaking with Access Hollywood on the red carpet for the premiere of the final season of Netflix's You, the John Tucker Must Die actor opened up about the importance of raising boys, noting "pressure" that's on him and his wife to "raise them well."

“They’re identical boys, so now we have four boys,” he shared.

“You know, I do mean this sincerely. It sounds a bit tacky, but the world needs more good men, so you know, pressure’s on us to raise them well.”

When asked to share his dad's superpower, the Easy A actor replied: “Well, it’s my patience until I’ve lost it, and then I’m just as bad as anybody else. But, I can be very patient.”

Four boys in the house! That's going to be quite the adventure. I appreciate how he acknowledges the responsibility of raising good men - we need more fathers thinking like this.

The baby feet reveal was so adorable! But I do wonder about celebrities sharing their children's images online. Privacy is important, even for celebrity kids.

Working on paternity leave? Typical Hollywood - can't even take proper time off for newborns. Family should come first, especially with twins!
