Saying that he is raising his sons in a way that defies this trend, Mackie shared that he teaches his sons to always say thank you, open doors for women, and take care of their mom. “So, for me, that idea of American masculinity is very different,” Mackie shared.
“My oldest gets it, my 15-year-old. Once you get one that’s right, he’s going to straighten the other ones out,” the actor added.

“They will always be men and that’s always since they were two years old. Every time I left for a job I’d tell my 15-year-old, ‘You’re the man of the house. You make sure these doors are locked every night, this alarm is on, you text me or you call me every night before you go to bed and you wake up.’ Because we’re men,” he said.
“I keep my boys humble. My boys have never had a pair of Jordans… you could be the biggest star in the world but do not let me catch you being stupid,” he continued.
