Zander, 27, has followed in his father’s footsteps into the entertainment industry and works in his production company 3AD.

Speaking to PEOPLE about their relationship, Daniel said, “I love working with my son.

“I think it’s a nice way for us to stay in touch because it’s not always easy when people have busy lives.

“My family is close and so it’s nice that we have one more point of connection.”

Daniel’s youngest son Jackson, 22, accompanied him to the premiere and looked dapper dressed in a classic black suit and white t-shirt.

Jackson is a model and TikTok star who currently boasts nearly 170,000 followers on the app.

He often posts videos where he shares his day to day life living in New York.

Daniel is best known for his series regular roles on Lost and Hawaii 5-0 and now stars in Butterfly, with its pilot episode airing next week.

The show centers around David Jung, a former U.S. intelligence operative who lives in South Korea and whose past comes back to haunt him when an agent is sent to kill him.

The series will also feature Netflix star Reina Hardesty and Coyote Ugly actress Piper Perabo.

The Good Doctor producer is always learning from his two sons especially when it comes to internet slang. 

During a March 2024 appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show, Daniel shared a humorous moment about discovering he had been dubbed a “zaddy” online.

He said, “The first time I saw that, I thought it must be a typo.

“I don’t know why there’s a ‘z’ in front of there… I heard it on the internet, that was the first time.”

It wasn’t until his kids stepped in that things clicked.

He said. “And then my kids kind of told me, ‘Oh, it kind of means this and that,’ and I was like, ‘Oh.’ “

Bill and Hillary Clinton ‘could face jail time’ if they refuse to testify in Trump admin’s Jeffrey Epstein investigation

BILL and Hillary Clinton could face jail time if they refuse a subpoena regarding their involvement with Jeffrey Epstein. 

The political power couple was issued a congressional subpoena due to their alleged involvement with the convicted sex offender.

While the couple hasn’t officially responded to the subpoena, if they refuse, they could be held in contempt of Congress.  

“If someone doesn’t comply with a subpoena…you can hold them in contempt of Congress,” House Oversight Committee chair James Comer told NewsNation.

“With a Republican attorney general, that’s something that I think that the Clinton legal team is going to think long and hard about.

“You’re not going to have a lot of sympathy, probably from the Trump DOJ, if the Clintons failed to comply with a bipartisan, congressionally approved subpoena, which is what that was.”

Jeffrey Epstein, a wealthy financier, was convicted of sex trafficking women and underage girls, leading to his arrest in 2019.

The felon died in prison in 2019 after committing suicide.

The millionaire allegedly had contacts with many influential people, including Prince Andrew, the Clintons, and Donald Trump.

The Clintons had allegedly flown on Epstein’s private plane, known as the “Lolita Express” by the locals who were aware of the young girls coming to the private island of Little St. James.

The accusation comes after prosecutors released a 118-page flight log as evidence in the trial of Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s associate, Newsweek reported.

Maxwell was charged with six counts, including sex trafficking of a minor, for which she pleaded not guilty.

She was found guilty of five of the six counts and was sentenced to 20 years in prison in June 2022.

The logs indicate that the Clintons flew on the plane in the 1990s, with Bill reportedly flying on it up to nine times. 

However, the former president denied having any extended contact with the convicted felon.

“President Clinton knows nothing about the terrible crimes Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to in Florida some years ago, or those with which he has been recently charged in New York,” a 2022 statement by Clinton read.

“He’s not spoken to Epstein in well over a decade, and has never been to Little St. James island.”

The former Democratic president stated that he “knows nothing about the terrible crimes Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to in Florida some years ago, or those with which he has recently been charged in New York.”

Bill Clinton’s office did not immediately respond to The U.S. Sun’s request for comment.

Prince Andrew was also named in the flight logs, having allegedly flown twice in February 1999.

The prince was accused of sexually assaulting one woman, Virginia Giuffre, on three separate occasions before she was 18 years old.

Andrew denies all allegations.
