The Breakfast Club star Anthony Michael Hall has welcomed his first child with his wife Lucia Hall.
In an interview with PEOPLE, the 55-year-old actor has revealed that he and his wife, 32, have welcomed a baby boy named Michael Anthony Hall II on June 1.
Speaking about becoming a parent, he said: “It’s great. We’re excited.”
“That first month of parenting is pretty wild,” Hall continued.
“Everything that everybody tells you is pretty true: you lose sleep and it’s the craziest time, but it’s the best time. So we’re really enjoying it.”
Hall also said that he wished to continue his legacy through his name.
“I knew I did want to name him Michael and my wife also loved that name, even before she met me,” he explained.
“So we’ve shared that, and then we decided to go with the suffix so he’s Michael Anthony Hall II because there are a lot of juniors in the world.”
Hall went on: “There’s nothing wrong with that, but we figured we wanted to keep that full name.”
The actor also recalled how Lucia felt throughout her pregnancy journey, saying that she ‘floated beautifully.’
“She was really amazing with it. She’s very healthy and has great genes, so it was all smooth and other than being a little sleep deprived now, really great,” he told the outlet.
“And she’s been breastfeeding — we have a big boy. In between his breastfeeding, I get to give him his bottles, and I can tell you, this kid has some appetite. He was born 9 lbs, 7 oz. at Cedars Sinai, and we were there for four days.”
“And fortunately, when we came back home the next day, he just connected with mom and she’s been feeding him and taking care of him, as have I, ever since,” Hall added.
He also shared how his wife’s ‘tiger mom instincts’ immediately kicked in when their son was born.
“I always knew, even when I was a young man, that I wanted to get started later. Here I am at 55, and I’m fully committed,” he added.
