Blunt said one thing he's looking forward to doing is being around more for this "important time" in his 16-year-old son Charlie's life. Blunt also has three older children and six grandchildren.
"We've had good family relationships and I want that to be better no doubt about that," Blunt says. "I don't think I've thought about that, until you've mentioned it, as much as I maybe should have. But we're close.
"And this does change the dynamic of the next two years where you're a little more in control of your time. It's an important time and I look forward to that."
