Vince Vaughn is pleased to be “a part of the sidewalk” on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The 54-year-old actor – who is married to Kyla Weber and has Locklyn, 13, and 11-year-old Vernon with her – has become the latest famous face to be given the honour on the LA tourist attraction and explained that it was “nice” to be part of something so close to where he grew up.
He told ‘Entertainment Tonight’: “Oh, it’s just nice to have my family be able to be out and be around. Growing up out here in Hollywood, it’s nice to be part of the sidewalk.”
The Bad Monkey star – who has been active in Hollywood since the early 1990s in films like ‘Dodgeball and The Wedding Crashers – was then asked if he had “manifested” the honour but admitted he wouldn’t go quite that far.
He said: “Gosh, I don’t know if I thought about it all that much.”
As he accepted the award on Monday, Vaughn thanked his wife and children for their support but joked that his children are “not as lucrative” as a career in film.
He said: “My beautiful wife Kyla, I’m so glad that you’re with me on this now. I’m so grateful for you and these beautiful kids and for all the laughter that we share together.
“As much as all this means, Vernon and Locklyn, you guys really do need to know that you guys are the most important thing in the world to me.
“You’re not as lucrative, and you don’t give me access to the kind of stuff that this kind of thing does – but with that all being said, you guys are the most important and I love you very much. It’s great to have you guys with me.”
