Jackson was born in Vancouver but was raised in LA until he was eight years old, at which point his parents divorced and he returned to the Canadian city with his mom and sister.
"My father unfortunately was not a good father or a husband and exited the scene, but that house in Topanga was where everything felt simple, so it was a very healing thing for me to do," Jackson told Mr. Porter about living in the home, which he first bought in 2001.
The "Dawson's Creek" actor also shared that Janie sleeps in his childhood bedroom.

According to Jackson, the home still has decor from when he lived there as a kid because the previous owner, who sold Jackson the home, could tell "it meant a lot to somebody and that they were going to come back for it some day."
"There was a mural of a dragon on the wall in that room that I couldn't believe was still there, years later," Jackson said about his childhood bedroom.
Although Turner-Smith told Seth Meyers in May that her and Jackson's relationship began as one-night-stand, the "Dr. Death" actor recently clarified to Insider that it was actually a "three-night stand."
Jackson confirmed that the couple's relationship was "sealed with a kiss" the night they met and that it "started off mostly with sex," although he plans to change the narrative a bit when he eventually recounts the story to their daughter.
"When we tell the baby the story, I think I'm probably going to lead with, 'I saw your mother from across the room and just like knew I had to be with her,' which is also true," Jackson said.
