    Bob Odenkirk Reveals His Unexpected Jealousy: "Being a Dad Was My Purpose"

    In a recent interview, celebrated actor Bob Odenkirk, known for his roles in "Breaking Bad" and "Better Call Saul," shared a deeply personal reflection on fatherhood, admitting to a sense of jealousy towards parents with young children. Speaking on Mike Birbiglia's 'Working It Out' podcast, Odenkirk articulated how being a dad provided an undeniable purpose in his life. "There's no question I knew what I was doing when I had kids growing up. I was being a dad. I mean, that was my job," Odenkirk stated. He elaborated on how this role eliminated existential questions about his place in the world. "I didn't have to ask myself, 'What am I doing here? What do I do? And how can I be a part of this world? How can I be meaningful today?' I didn't have to ask that question because the answer is: pick up everything between here and the door, and make sure they get to school and have a laugh with them." He concluded, "Life was... I understood... my purpose." Odenkirk's candid remarks resonate with many parents who find profound meaning in raising their children, and his perspective offers a poignant look at the evolving stages of parenthood.
