He described his late mother as hardworking and resilient, noting that raising a child alone came with significant emotional and financial pressures.

Franklin stressed the importance of father figures in the lives of young boys, explaining that the absence of such guidance had a negative impact on him during his teenage years. He disclosed that the lack of direction led him into behaviours such as alcohol use, smoking, and early involvement in relationships.

Despite those early struggles, the actor said he has since come to terms with his father’s absence and now maintains a different relationship with him.
