Along with family, Jacob has also shunned reality TV in a new heartfelt Instagram post with Jack Hamill, the 7-year-old star of Our Little Family. “This is Jack. I've never felt I had more of an opportunity to influence someone's life than when I told him how much I didn't like filming when I was his age, so he knows just because the adults say it's what's best, doesn't mean it's what's best,” he wrote.
