Daniel, 28 – star of horror comedy movie Get Out – also said he and his inner circle chat on WhatsApp whenever they feel down.
He said: “I’m here because of love. Mum, thank you for helping me be a man. I feel very appreciative of my mum, my girl, my family, my friends.
“We WhatsApp when we’re feeling low and stuff. It all contributes to making you stand straight.”
Daniel was a baby when his dad Stephen, 59, disappeared from his life. The Sunday People told how Stephen wants a reunion.
