‘He is named after my father, who died when I was ten. I hope I can be as good a dad as he was, ‘wrote Anderson, whose mother was heiress Gloria Vanderbilt.
‘ My son’s middle name is Morgan. It’s a family name on my mom’s side. I know my mom and dad liked the name morgan because I recently found a list they made 0100 years ago when they were trying to think of names for me. ‘
