Arturo Holmes/WireImage Joshua Jacksondid something not so legendary while working onKarate Kid: Legends. PEOPLE caught up with the actor, 46, at the film's premiere on Tuesday, May 27, during which he discussed bringing his 5-year-old daughter,Juno, whom he shares withJodie Turner-Smith, on set. The actor said that bringing the toddler to watch him film the project turned out to be a "really stupid thing" to do. "She came out to visit Montreal for five, six days because my brother lives up there, it was a family trip and I brought her on set the day that we were doing the fight scene," he says. Jodie Turner-Smith/ Instagram "That was really dumb," he explains. "She did not like seeing her dad get beat up. So I don't think I'll watch it with her in the theatrical run, but within a couple years I think we'll be okay." Jackson says that he believes "that was the first time I'd ever brought her to work." While things might not have worked out as planned, the proud dad says that they already have some plans for summer. "She graduates from school or from [Transitional Kindergarten] TK in a couple of weeks, and then we got some summer camp and we'll figure it out after that," he says. Karate Kid: Legendsfinds Jackson playing Victor, a former boxing champ and pizzeria owner. To play the role,Jackson told theTodayshow that he gained 20 lbs. "I walk around at 175. I was almost 195 for the film," he shared on television earlier the same day, noting: "It was harder than I thought it was going to be. I was eating 4,000 calories a day."
