The Batman star opens up about his decision to put his family first, even if it meant sacrificing some of his career opportunities.

In a recent interview, Michael Keaton revealed that he turned down several big movie roles in order to be more present for his son, Sean. Keaton said that he always wanted to be a dad, and that he felt it was the "correct choice" to put his family first.

"I always wanted to be a dad," Keaton said. "I knew that if I didn't do it, I would regret it for the rest of my life." Keaton said that he was offered the lead role in the movie "Batman" in 1989, but he turned it down because he didn't want to be away from his son for so long.

"I was offered 'Batman' in 1989, but I turned it down because I didn't want to be away from my son for so long," Keaton said. "I knew that if I took that role, I would be gone for months at a time, and I didn't want to miss out on his childhood."

Keaton said that he has no regrets about his decision to put his family first. "I'm so glad I made the choice I did," Keaton said. "My son is the most important thing in my life, and I wouldn't trade him for anything."
