‘The movie ended two days after her due date, so we thought, “Ok I’ll take the film as a way of providing for my family. And hopefully I’ll make it,”‘ Daugherty said.

Daugherty noted that while ‘a lot of first babies come late,’ Wilder ‘came a little bit early so I unfortunately missed the birth.’

Thankfully, with the use of FaceTime, he was able to see his child come into the world in real-time.

‘I was stuck in a hotel in Vancouver watching on FaceTime as my son came into the world,’ he said. ‘My sister-in-law did. So bless her heart. She held the camera up for an hour while it all happened.’
