The 'Fast and Furious' star also discussed how his businesses like tequila brand Teremana have brought him closer to the ladies in his life.

"I think I've reached a point in my life where I can create my own schedule, which has really been nice, because it wasn't always that way, and I'm really lucky," he said. "And I think, in the spirit of creating my own schedule, it allows me to get closer to the girls and where they're around every corner they're with me," Johnson added.

He also described his at-home office as "Daddy Central," adding that "they're always hanging out, so they're always privy to all the stuff that's going on." "It's like they're privy to the chocolate factory," he joked.
