Speaking of Alexander, his father Timothy Dalton said in an interview: “A kid really completes you and makes you far more tolerant of humankind in general, because you realize everyone started out with this deeply precious, wonderful energy and innocence,” he told the DailyMail.

“Alexander’s a real individual. He’s great,” Timothy Dalton added. “It’s strange, you realize when it’s too late that when they were six, seven and eight they still had all these fantastic qualities, but they were children; they were dependent on you. Now you say, ‘We’re going to do this’, and they say, ‘No, I don’t want to. I want to do that.’”

Timothy said that such “beginnings of independence” from his son was “wonderful” to witness, even if the upbringing gets more sophisticated. He said at the time: “Now he comes back from school and says, ‘Dad, what’s the difference between a metaphor and a simile?” How do you explain the difference between “stuck in the mud” and “stubborn as a pig” so a nine-year-old understands?”

“Of course, it’s a challenge being a parent, but it’s a wonderful challenge.” When Alexander was a teenager, he once appeared in the news after he threw a party at his father’s mansion and neighbors complained about it.
