Alan Alda's three daughters have since given him eight beautiful grandchildren. He absolutely adores the time he spends with his grandkids, telling Closer Weekly that laughter is of course the best medicine. "We like to laugh," he said during the seventh season of his podcast "Clear+Vivid." "Everybody is good at making everybody else laugh and [it's always] entertaining to hang out together."

Ever the typical grandad, he doesn't mind spoiling his grandkids every now and then either. "I don't think of it as spoiling. They know we love them," the actor explained. "I think you can't express too much how you care for someone, it doesn't spoil them."

Alda is also extremely proud of them for what they're achieving at such a young age. "One decided to be an actor and is doing well, another one is working for a PR firm and is doing very well," he explained. "They all met their own interests." As for the budding actor, who happens to be Scott Alda Coffey, Alda is more than happy to give him help and advice on the industry. "I will often talk about acting with him, sure," he said.
