London, Nov 25 : Brit actor Hugh Grant has revealed that he is now ready to start a family of his own.

Grant, 49, who had previously shunned the idea of becoming a father, admits that after being an uncle to the children of his closest friends, he is now qualified for fatherhood.

“Ten years ago I wouldn’t have thought about having any children at all,” the Daily Express quoted him as telling Parade magazine.

“Yes, yes, yes. I haven’t given up hope. I find I’m not as bad with children as I used to be.

“I see a lot of children are over-parented now, over-adored and over-spoiled. I quite like children to be left alone to get on with it,” he added. (ANI)
