Rob Delaney has admitted he was worried he wouldn't 'like or bond' with his baby son ahead of his birth, in August last year.
The Catastrophe actor's older son Henry died of cancer when he was just aged two in January 2018.
And the 42-year-old admitted the tragedy left him concerned that he would be too afraid to get close to their fourth child.
Honest: Catastrophe's Rob Delaney admitted he was worried he wouldn't bond with his new baby, (born in August) after losing his older son Henry to cancer aged two in January 2018 (pictured with his wife Leah in April 2018)
Rob, who also has two older sons, aged seven and six, with his wife, Leah, admitted 'I knew that I would love him. But I didn't know if I would like him or bond with him, because I didn't know if I would be too afraid to.'
Thankfully, the feeling went a few weeks after the baby was born but Rob admitted the period was a 'totally insane' time but thinks it must have been much harder on his wife who attended Henry's funeral while pregnant with their fourth child.
Rob said she deserves a bronze statue in her honour for managing to get through it all in the way that she did.

'I'll have a memory and start to cry sometimes. Or I'll look at my watch and notice it's coming around the time when I would have changed his tracheotomy dressing for the day, and I'll be sad I'm not doing that.
'He's absolutely still my son, and he commands a big percentage of my attention each day. So I just try to not resist that or hate it or fear it. He's my son. I loved him when he was alive. I still love him and talk to him and think about him every day.'
Rob previously revealed how he tackled shooting and writing Channel 4 comedy Catastrophe's fourth and final season while his late son was battling a brain tumour.
The American actor spoke candidly to Radio Times about the painful battle he faced ahead of Henry's death in January, including taking breaks to cry and renting an office near Great Ormond Street Hospital to visit his son. D
