Watch: Jeremy Renner Gushes Over His 3-Year-Old Daughter

Jeremy Renner talking about his three-year-old daughter Ava is the sweetest thing ever.

The actor gushed about his adorable little one while promoting his upcoming sci-fi drama Story of Your Life at CinemaCon.

Simply put, Renner said, fatherhood "is the most important thing in my life."

We've seen a peek of adorable Ava on the actor's Instagram. "I still don't expose my baby's face, just to protect her or anyone in my family [who's] a minor," Renner said. "I just think that's not my decision to make. You know what I mean? You don't need to be world famous just because your jackass did is."

The Captain America: Civil War actor recently posted a pic of himself with Ava in his trailer on the set of Wind River, a thriller he's shooting with Elizabeth Olsen.

She's too young yet to tell if she has the acting gene, Renner said. "I think she's definitely artistic for sure, but...I'd love to steer her away from [show business] but I'll never say no," he said.

He added, "I first and foremost want her to be a kid and have a lot of fun."

Too sweet.

In Story of Your Life, Renner stars as a physicist opposite Amy Adams as a linguist who is recruited by the military to try and communicate with aliens that have landed on earth.
