Ryan Phillippe says parenting has made him a better actor

11/13/2007 at 06:53 PM ET

Crying on command was always difficult for Ryan Phillippe, 33, but since welcoming daughter Ava, 8, and son Deacon, 4, the actor says it’s "easy." 

When I was younger, I didn’t have enough to cry about. But since I’ve had kids, I feel my work has become better, because my life is fuller and more complicated, and I’ve experienced so many highs and lows.   

Ava and Deacon’s mom is Ryan’s ex-wife, actress Reese Witherspoon, 31.

Am I the only one still sad about this break-up? They seem to do a fantastic job with their kids though.

No anya you’re not! I too still hold a torch for this couple (and secretly hope they will get back together…!)

Mom Said It

"I had to make a decision that I could sleep with every night. I did feel responsible for the young girls who I probably confused and let down. I apologize for that. But I wasn't trying to glamorize teen pregnancy."
