During his speech, Vaughn playfully remarked that while it was great to have famous friends in the crowd, his wife and children were the most important people present. He joked, “You’re not as lucrative and you don’t give me access to the kind of stuff that this kind of thing does. But with that all being said, you guys are the most important and I love you very much. It’s great to have you guys with me.”
Also present in the audience were Vaughn’s parents, Vernon Vaughn and Sharon Eileen Depalmo, as well as his two sisters, Valeri and Victoria Vaughn, who joined in to celebrate the special occasion with the family.
In a recent interview, Vaughn expressed that fatherhood has been a tremendous “joy,” noting it has made him more “empathetic, patient, and skilled at encouragement.”
While Vaughn is promoting his new Apple TV+ series Bad Monkey, he recently spoke about doing a follow-up to his smash hit Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story. He told, “They’ve always talked about these things forever and I had an idea that was fun and the studio likes it, so we’ll see where it goes.”

In the original film, written and directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber, a ragtag group of underdogs competes in a dodgeball tournament in Las Vegas to save their beloved local gym from a ruthless corporate fitness chain.
Released 18 years ago, the film was a worldwide hit, earning $188.4 million against a $20 million budget.
Vince, who portrayed Pete LaFleur, the owner of Average Joe’s Gym, revealed that Ben Stiller is open to reprising his role as White Goodman, the scheming owner of Globo Gym, provided there is a fresh and humorous script.
“I think Ben [Stiller] is open to doing it, I think he’s in the same boat as me actually which is if it’s a really fun and great idea then that’s fun, but if it’s just something to go do it again then why?” Vaughn explained.
