Anthony Michael Hall has spent decades in Hollywood, but the actor says the biggest role of his life arrived much later than anyone expected.
After becoming a first-time father in his mid-50s, the ‘Breakfast Club‘ star is opening up about how marriage and parenthood have completely changed his life, and why he believes he found his true soulmate in his wife, Lucia Oskerova.

Hall described Oskerova as his “soulmate” and said he feels incredibly grateful for the family they have built together. Speaking about his life today, he admitted that marriage and fatherhood have become his biggest priorities.
“Fatherhood and being a husband—that’s absolutely the greatest role,” Hall shared. Hall said parenting keeps both him and Oskerova busy every day, but they happily embrace every part of the journey. “It’s a full-time job … but we love it. We just embrace it, and our son such a joy.”

“We started him in preschool about six months ago. He’s doing great. He’s eating so much—I mean, this kid is like a little giant. He looks like he’s 5 years old already. But we’re having a great time. It’s incredible.”
Hall first spoke about becoming a new father shortly after Michael’s birth in 2023. Looking back on those early weeks, he admitted the experience was overwhelming but unforgettable. “That first month of parenting is pretty wild,” he told People at the time. “It’s the craziest time, but it’s the best time.”
Hall did not shy away from talking about the realities of raising a newborn. He admitted every parent had warned him about sleepless nights, and they were right. “Everything that everybody tells you is pretty true: you lose sleep,” Hall continued, while affectionately calling his then 1-month-old son a “big boy.”
Even so, the actor said becoming a father later in life only strengthened his commitment to his family. “I couldn’t be happier [now],” he gushed. “Here I am at 55, and I’m fully committed. I’m excited. My wife and I are really into parenting and diving in.”
Before their son’s arrival, Hall and Oskerova announced they were expecting their first child together in February 2023, when she was nearly seven months pregnant. Hall also documented parts of the pregnancy on Instagram and proudly told his followers in March how “proud” he was of the former model as they prepared to welcome the newest member of their family.
