Summary
On Rich Roll’s podcast, Danny McBride said his family’s 2017 move from Los Angeles to Charleston was driven by creative freedom, less social-media pressure and a better home life.
McBride said filming "Eastbound & Down" in North Carolina showed him that distance from Los Angeles kept executives off set, giving him and his team more room to work.
Charleston also fit how he wanted to raise son Declan, 14, and daughter Ava, 10, with fewer online influences and more time outdoors around their creekside neighborhood.
Having children changed his approach to work, he said, pushing him to protect time for parenting and his wife rather than giving every hour to television production.
To keep that balance, McBride said he starts work before his kids wake up so he can stay creatively engaged while still being present for school drop-offs and family routines.
