Jeremy Renner says being a father to daughter Ava is his 'best role to date' (Video)

Jeremy Renner appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and gushed about his daughter, Ava, saying his film career now takes a back seat to his relationship with her.

Renner, who just settled a contentious divorce and custody battle with his ex-wife, Sonni Pacheco, said his 2-year-old daughter is “No. 1 in my life.”

He joked that becoming a father "kind of screwed my career in a lot of ways because I don't really care about it [my career] so much, because I care about her [Ava] so much."

Renner continued to say he looks at his career now as doing “movies on the side” because “Daddy's my best role to date.”

The Avengers: Age of Ultron star was only married to Pacheco for 10 months. Their divorce proceedings got ugly was he claimed she extorted him to get a green card.
