David Walliams: Being a dad is the best part of my life

OHMYGOSSIP — David Walliams says being a father is “the best part of [his] life”.
The ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ judge has gushed about being a dad to eight-year-old son Alfred – whom he has with his ex-wife Lara Stone – and shared a sweet insight into their bond.
He told OK!: “We have loads of in-jokes and things like that. It is just the most wonderful thing making your kid laugh. The most wonderful thing about kids is that if they find something funny, you can do it every day.
So I sit the dog on my lap and do the dog’s voice to him and he thinks that is hilarious. It is the most wonderful thing being a dad. It is the best part of my life by a long way.”
David previously revealed becoming a dad rescued him from depression.
He shared in 2019: “I have had struggles with depression in the past.
“There have been periods through my life when I’ve been very, very down and it’s been very long-lasting.”
However, the ‘Little Britain’ star admitted being a parent means there is little time to dwell on your own problems.
He said: “I’m certainly in a better place now and one great thing about becoming a parent.
“Your whole life starts revolving around them and you do stop dwelling on your own problems so much, because you don’t have time to.”
David also acknowledged that his depression was triggered by a variety of different factors.
Asked what led to his low spells, the comedian – whose marriage to Lara lasted from 2010 until 2015 – explained: “A variety of things, end of relationships … all kinds of things can take you to a very bleak place.”
David urged anyone going through similar dark moments in their own lives to seek professional help.
He said: “Seek help and not feel ashamed … I did and that really, really helped.”
