LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: It's a moment of pure bliss for actor Anthony Michael Hall, 55, and his wife, Lucia Oskerova, as they proudly announce the arrival of their first child. Born on June 1 at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, their son weighed a healthy nine pounds, seven ounces.
The couple decided to name their baby Michael Anthony Hall II, honoring the actor's name while giving their little one a unique touch. "I knew I did want to name him Michael, and my wife also loved that name, even before she met me," said 'The Breakfast Club' actor to PEOPLE magazine, adding, "So we've shared that, and then we decided to go with the suffix, so he's Michael Anthony Hall II because there are a lot of juniors in the world. There's nothing wrong with that, but we figured we wanted to keep that full name."
Now immersed in the whirlwind of parenthood, the 55-year-old actor describes the past few weeks as "wild" but incredibly fulfilling. "That first month of parenting is pretty wild," he said, adding, "You lose sleep, and everything everyone tells you is true. But despite the challenges, it's the best time, and we're truly enjoying every moment."
