Jeremy Renner jokingly claimed his daughter has ''ruined'' his life.

The 43-year-old actor, who recently revealed he secretly married model Sonni Pacheco earlier this year, no longer cares as much about his career because he is completely besotted with their 18-month-old toddler, Ava Berlin.

Asked about parenthood, the 'Avengers' star told the 'TODAY' show: ''It's the best. It's the best thing ever.''

He joked: ''She's kind of ruined my life. We were talking about how much I love my job and all these wonderful things -- that means nothing any more.''

He added: ''Now I know what real love is, what real existence is. Best thing that I've experienced in my life.''

The 'Kill the Messenger' actor previously admitted he feels ''miserable'' when he's away from his daughter.

He said: ''The only thing I think about when I'm not with my baby is, 'How do I get to my baby?' I need to get to her, and I'm very miserable when I don't see her. I really love being a father.''

He added: ''The only that has changed is my perspective on things. I still work, probably even more. It used to be all for myself so I'm not old and broke. All these things I still do, but I do it now for the future of my baby, and if it gets in the way of her well-being, then I stop.''
