Gooding explained that this dynamic perplexed him as a child, adding, “I didn’t really understand that relationship.
Because I was like, ‘You’re so positive and charismatic in these interviews and then you come home and it’s a different guy.’”
However, Gooding shared that he had more empathy for his dad now that he’s an adult and an actor himself.
And you’ll come home and people will be like, “Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, this is what you missed.’”
Gooding is the son of “Boyz n the Hood” star and his ex-wife Sara Kapfer, who he split from in 2014 after welcoming three children together.
