Revealing that his son came into the world very quickly he said: "I called 911 and, over the course of a minute conversation, I said 'We're about to have a baby - we're having a baby - we had a baby."

Axel Strahl is the star's second child with wife Alexi Ashe, they are already parents to 2-year-old Ashe Olsen.
