These days the pair love yarning over … On Monday afternoon, Kiwi comedian Dai Henwood paid an emotional tribute to his father Ray Henwood, who died last week.Ray, who was one of New Zealand's most beloved actors, was aged 82.Standing before Ray's white casket, which was dressed in red and white roses, the 41-year-old TV star bid a tearful farewell to his father. I definitely think he influenced my interest in performance. A post shared by Dai Henwood (@dai_henwood) on Jul 6, 2019 at 3:17pm PDT "You make me a better man and as your soul is carried by the warm wind, I want you to know that you are always a part of me. But I definitely got my funny bone from him. "Any child, at the end of the day, secretly wants the admiration of their parents" says comedian/show host Dai Henwood on his relationship with father actor Ray Henwood. We both love barbecuing, and not gas, we're big on the coal barbecuing so we swap techniques and like to see how each other cooks. We're both quite sports mad, we watch cricket together, we talk about rugby and rugby league a lot. (A mighty Totara has fallen in the forest of Tāne Mahuta). Comedian Dai Henwood, 38, grew up in the theatre scene with his dad, Wellington actor Ray Henwood, 79. While being very close with Mum, she was working as a lawyer and then as a judge, so she had quite a full-on work schedule. Growing up, I had the benefit of Dad playing a strong role in my life. "So my wife and I have just had a beautiful baby girl. He gave me tickets to a one-day cricket game at Eden Park. Goodbye," a teary Dai said.Dai also recently took to social media to pay tribute to his dad, posting a photo of the two together from his childhood he wrote: "I miss you Dad, you were proud of me and that mattered a lot. It means so much to me when he says he likes what I've done on a show because any child, at the end of the day, secretly wants the admiration of their parents. The couple are already proud parents of son Charlie, 3. I love you Dad, and you rest amongst the stars. Dad gave me a good work ethic, he showed me that if you're booked for a gig, you always show up for it and you're not a prima donna, and those traits have put me in good stead. Henwood studied Theatre and Film at Victoria University of Wellington, graduating with a BA in eastern religions, before winning 'Best New Face' on TV2's Pulp Comedy in 1999, the Billy T Award in 2002 and the Fred Award in 2007. "He is survived by his second wife, the retired judge Carolyn Henwood, their two children and his two grandchildren. Dad went up to them and got it back, but he wasn't rough or physical with them; the way he did it sort of showed me to always stand up for yourself and be strong but don't use violence or be hurtful. I remember bringing him to the Opera House for the first time and he sat in the carry cot in the dressing room. He's an animated and doting grandfather, when he sees my 3-year-old he's so sprightly, he'll be down on his hands and knees being a horse and that sort of thing. It was the same with Dai and me really, because when his mother, Carolyn [now a judge], went back to work in the law firm, I had a lot of time with Dai. He was a very personable young man, he was quiet, and a very good sportsman. Both Carolyn and I have profiles, Carolyn in the law and me in theatre and television, but once when Carolyn and I were leaving the airport this young business woman marched ahead and then turned around and said, "Are you that comedian's parents?" We have a holiday base at Piha where we have holidayed since I was born, they stay up there for a month and a half and my wife and kids and I get out there when we can.
We both share a great interest in sport, every Saturday in summer it was off to cricket and in the winter off to rugby. He's always been into more serious theatre, which I love, but it's not really my bent. I'd never been there so it was lovely. ""Thanks for everything you know or might not know you did. The star of 7 Days and Family Feud and his wife Joanna Kelly have welcomed a little girl to their family. He has a wide reading knowledge. "You make me a better man and as your soul is carried by the warm wind, I want you to know that you are always a part of me. What's it like as a teenager when your mum's a judge? I'm such a proud son, I recently listened to a review of King Lear and it just makes my heart swell when I hear he's doing great. Comedian Dai Henwood, 38, grew up in the theatre scene with his dad, Wellington actor Ray Henwood, 79. Henwood was born in 1978 to father Ray and mother Judge Carolyn Henwood. I would always point out and explain things to him and I think he's taken that on. With Family Feud it's a bit different, he has to keep the show running, entertain the families and the viewers and I think he does a superb job at that, he has amazing energy, he's always kept himself fit and I see it on that show. Once when I was 12 or 13 some kids sort of bullied me and took my brand-new leather rugby ball.
"He added: "You passed away early this morning and it hurt. Mum, Jo, Charlie, Lucy and I love you to the stars where you belong.
These days the pair love yarning over a barbecue about everything from rugby league to black holes. When I see him on 7 Days it's very much like his live shows, he really attacks it and he's got that great stage presence, he's a great stand-up. Both of us are interested in science and the universe, my degree was in eastern religion and I did philosophy and dad's someone I can talk with about anything, we'll go from rugby league to black holes very quickly.
