Dustin Hoffman, wife Lisa make rare appearance with their grandkids at ‘Kung Fu Panda 4’ premiere
Dustin Hoffman made his latest work event a family affair.
The Oscar winner walked the red carPet of the “Kung Fu Panda 4” premiere Sunday with his wife, Lisa Hoffman, and his two grandsons.
Dustin, who is reprising his role as Master Shifu for the fourth installment, held each of his grandson’s hands as they posed for photos together.
Dustin, 86, and Lisa, 69, married in October 1980 and share four children: Jake, 42, Rebecca, 40, Max, 39, and Alexandra, 36.
The “Graduate” star also shares daughters Jenna, 53, and Karina, 58, with ex-wife Anne Byrne, to whom Dustin was married from 1969 to 1980.
That same year, Byrne married Ivan Kronenfeld.
Despite his decades-long marriage to Lisa, Dustin admitted in 2011 that he considered both marriage and family “unnatural.”

“That’s why they’re both so difficult,” he said at a press junket for “Little Fockers.” “You just wake up and suddenly clunk, you’re ready. ‘OK, I guess that’s it.'”
Instead, Dustin argued for arranged marriages.
“Arranged marriages I think make a lot of sense because you’re not under the pressure of being in love. It’s an easy contract,” he explained.
“You don’t have to like each other and then whatever happens, happens.”
Although his co-star Owen Wilson argued that arranged marriages took away from romance and courtship, Dustin doubled down.
“There’s nothing wrong with courting or romance, it just shouldn’t have to go into a contractual phase, which is marriage,” he said.
Lisa, however, said that she and Dustin “worked hard” at their marriage.
“I say in Hollywood it is like dog years, so you have to multiply that by seven,” she quipped in 2017, then added the pair “are more in love” than ever before and their affection for each other “continues to grow.”
