The 41-year-old also tells PEOPLE at the event — which took place on Wednesday, Mar. 5, at L.A.’s Paramount Lot — that his friends tried to put him off becoming a parent.

“They tried to scare me out of it,” he says. “They’re like, ‘Your life’s over, your life’s going to suck’. "

But the comic adds that having Beau with his wife,Chloe Bridges, 33, when he was 40, meant he was ready for the responsibility. “I waited until I was an old man. I was ready for my life to be over,” he says. “I was sitting in a bar on a Tuesday, and I’m like, ‘What am I doing here? This is depressing’. "
