My dad drove a truck…but occasionally I would have to watch somebody tell my dad what to do, and that kind of stuck with me.

So it was nice for my daughter to come in this atmosphere where her dad’s the boss,” Chris recalled.Zahra also chatted with the outlet, confessing that working under the wings of her father was “amazing.”She added, “When he offered me the role I was just so excited.

I was still in college and I was so excited to be able to get out there and show my stuff.”Reflecting on the lesson the Fargo star shared with her, Zahra said, “I think it’s be true to yourself, and at least in comedy, humor comes from within.

All of that kind of stuff.”Chris and his daughter are also working together on the forthcoming third entry in the Grown Ups series, as she revealed, “We’re having a great time and it’s great going to work with him every day.”It is pertinent to mention that Misty Green is scheduled to open in United States theatres on October 9, 2026.
