Presenter Alexander Armstrong recently shared that he takes pleasure in stepping into ‘dad mode’ whenever his four boys need assistance, whether it’s teaching his son to cook mince at university or handling tasks like emergency passport renewals. Armstrong, 55, who is married to Hannah Armstrong, emphasized the importance of family in their lives and highlighted that his celebrity status doesn’t exempt him from being a dedicated father.
Known for hosting BBC’s Pointless, Armstrong mentioned that being a father to four boys keeps him on his toes even when he’s not in front of the camera. He expressed his readiness to engage and help his kids at any moment, stating that they are wonderful but definitely a handful.
Describing his approach as ‘dad mode,’ Armstrong highlighted his meticulous nature of ensuring his kids have physical copies of everything, from gig tickets to boarding passes. This sentiment aligns with a recent study by HP, which found that the majority of parents anticipate being relied upon by their children indefinitely for assistance, especially during crises.
Armstrong humorously acknowledged that he envisions himself being the go-to person for home fixes and DIY advice well into his nineties. The study also revealed that while many parents strive to be prepared for any situation, only a small percentage have access to a printer for last-minute document needs.
In a partnership with HP, Armstrong showcased his ‘dad skills’ in London by assisting individuals with emergency printing requirements. This initiative aimed to underscore the essential role that printers play in crucial life moments, emphasizing the need for easy and reliable access to printing services.
HP’s spokesperson noted the significant connection between printing and important life events, emphasizing the reliability associated with printing services during critical times. The brand’s HP Smart Tank printers, designed to last up to three years without refills, aim to provide a dependable printing solution for various needs, mirroring the dependable nature of a father’s support.
