Attenborou­gh: I was an absent dad

-

SIR David Attenborou­gh has revealed his biggest regret in life is being away from his children and missing precious family moments.

The broadcaste­r said although he has had a glittering career, it has meant being absent for milestones in the lives of his two children.

In a Radio Times interview, the 91-year-old said he would sometimes be off filming for months at a time. He said: ‘If you have a child you miss three months of his or her life, it’s irreplacea­ble; you miss something. And I did.

‘Perhaps you can’t have your cake and eat it.’
