While attending the premiere of his new Max series on Friday night, the Avengers star chatted with PEOPLE about how working with his two youngest children– 11-year-old child Exton and 8-year-old daughter Avri– on the series was a “blast.”.

” [My better half Susan Downey] has actually raised him not to be a ham,” Robert, 58, said of his child. “He’s not, like, assembling his audition tapes or anything. He’s simply a natural extrovert when he wants to be.”.

” There’s been a couple times when … he’s wished to take part in something I was doing,” he continued. “And when I ran this one by him, he said, ‘Yeah, sure.’ And after that he can be found in and absolutely wiped the floor with me.”.

When it comes to Robert’s daughter, he said she’s “a bit various, even though she is off the charts in the series, too.”.
