Cole Haser shared a story of how he randomly discovered who his father was while watching TV. Now the actor is a husband and father of three. Although he keeps his personal life private, Hauser revealed the importance of family and his role as a dad.
Cole Hauser is a famous American actor popularly known for films like: "Dazed and Confused", "School Ties" and more. Hauser had an exciting childhood living on a ranch in Santa Barbara with his mother, who is not afraid to express how proud she is of her son's success.
Hauser's mother, Cass Warner, and his father divorced when the actor was only two years old. Warner became a single mother of four with the addition of Tao Gaines, Jesse Pool, and Vanessa Mooney. But the father of her three other children has not been disclosed since she perfers to keep her life personal.
But what Warner is not shy to do is tell adorable childhood stories of her actor son. The mother of four told the story of Hauser's birth on Instagram. She said he was born at the ranch in Santa Barbara in the mountains of California at dawn.
Warner said her birth was as smooth as anyone would wish a delivery to be and continued to describe her son as a curious child who loved exploring nature.
The proud mother of four also shared that her parenting motto was always to "acknowledge [their] sunshine and abilities, and encourage them to grow" and not overshadow her children's aspirations with her own.
All of these sweet childhood stories that Warner tells the world are also a way for her to indicate how far her children have come and their achievements. Therefore, Warner shamelessly mentioned that her son would star as Rip in the show "Yellowstone".
Besides being a doting mother, Hollywoodlife stated that Warner worked as a filmmaker and has been in the industry for years, so Hauser's interest in acting and entertainment was inspired by the movies surrounding him.
As one can imagine, Hauser shares a close bond with his mother. The actor posted a picture of him and his mother horseback riding and expressed how much he loved spending time with her.
Hauser also shared that his mother gives him the "strength of a human spirit". He reportedly lived with his mother during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
How Cole Hauser Discovered Who His Father Was
Since Hauser's parents divorced when he was two years old, the actor did not get to spend much time with his father, let alone know who he was.

Hauser then went to his mother to ask who the person was. The actor said his mother was shocked at his question, but she sat him down and told him that Wings Hauser was his father.
Wings Hauser is also an actor and producer. He is known for his role in the 1987 film "Tough Guys Don't Dance", for which he won a Sprite Award. Wings has had a long Hollywood career and worked with icons such as Al Pachino and Russel Crow.
As reported by Express UK, Hauser's father's acting career kept him busy. The "School Ties" star lived with his mother between Florida and Oregon and eventually settled in Santa Barbara, which took away from spending time with his father.
However, according to Express UK, Wings lived with his son when he was 15 years old and helped him pursue his career in acting.
