Jim Jones on how his 9-year-old deals with dad’s fame: - "He deals with it. He likes it but he is a funny character when he does get the time to be with me. I'm not allowed to take pictures or autographs. He has his own little rules. If I do end up taking a picture, he kinda gets upset."(Photo: Johnny Nunez/WireImage/Getty Images)
