Hugh Grant: 'Everyone was right, I recommend fatherhood' - video

Hugh Grant has said that he recommends fatherhood, admitting that others were right about the experience.

The Four Weddings star was speaking on The Ellen DeGeneres Show today (April 27).



Grant said to the chat show host: "It's surprising that everyone was right all these years.

"[People were] saying, 'Hugh, why don't you have some children? It changes your life'.

"And you're thinking, 'Oh, shut up!' And now that I have [a child], it is life-changing. I recommend it. Get some."

The actor went on: "I can't pretend it wasn't a little bit of a surprise, but it's a very nice surprise.

"In fact, the baby's name in Chinese (Jingxi) - because the mother is Chinese - means 'Happy Surprise'."

Grant said earlier this month that he is "pretty much finished" with acting, but has also said that he has high hopes for a third Bridget Jones film.
