Giancarlo Esposito is embracing the joy of life, largely thanks to his role as a father. While attending the Toronto International Film Festival for the premiere of 'The Only Living Pickpocket in New York' on September 16, 2026, Esposito, 68, spoke about his experiences.
He was particularly moved by a scene in the film depicting true joy, which resonated with him. Esposito explained that after working diligently his entire life, he is now raising four daughters and is learning to find enjoyment and not solely focus on tasks. His children have also introduced him to contemporary slang, calling him 'fire.'
Fellow actor John Turturro, 69, also shared his perspective on parenting, noting it's a humbling, continuous learning process. He emphasized that children are unique individuals, and parenting broadens one's personal growth. 'The Only Living Pickpocket in New York,' which also stars Turturro, is set to release in theaters on October 16, 2026. Esposito had a notable year in 2026 with appearances in 'The Boys,' 'The Gentlemen,' and several films.
