Hugh Grant Is Ready To Have Your Baby

I’m so glad Hugh Grant, what originated my love of awkward men, is finally ready to settle down and have a family. Our children will be a gorgeous mix of Dominican and British and I will write films for him where we fall in love over and over again. He tells Parade magazine that while he does want kids, he believes he’d have a ton of nannies, which is my thought exactly! More time for us to spend time on the French Riviera.

Ten years ago, I wouldn’t have thought about having children at all. But now I have so many nephews and nieces and cousins and godchildren, I like the thought. But that’s on the basis that I can leave after 10 minutes. I don’t know what it would be like 24 hours a day. I think I’d have a lot of nannies.”

If you’re worried Hugh was going to die alone and childless, never fear, he also tells Parade he has hope that one day he’ll have kids and that he’ll be a good dad! And he also already has thoughts on “smothering” parents despite having no children of his own:

“If you have a smothering parent, the effect it can apparently have on a child is to give them, in equal doses, a sense of too much self-esteem, because they are mummy’s little princess or prince, and low self-esteem. It affects future relationships. You want to repeat this smothering thing, and you are very adept at bringing people in to love you, love you, and as soon as they get close enough, you push them away. Then you bring them back and push them away again. You can go on torturing people like that for ages.”

Waiting for your call, Hugh!
