However, his photographs have also received some divisive opinions, with many terming his fishing as "cruel" or "excessive," with a third even saying: "Stop killing animals."

His sister Bella, who was adopted with him by the Hollywood couple, is an artist who lives in the UK with her husband Max Parker.
While there were reports that both Bella and Connor were estranged from their mother due to their involvement in Scientology, the actress has dismissed any rift with her children.

Nicole added: "They have made choices to be Scientologists. It’s our job as a parent to always offer unconditional love."
