(from a film, not his baby, relax)
HUGH Grant, who will be in Sydney in two weeks, has spoken for the first time about being father.
Grant, who is promoting animated movie The Pirates! Band of Misfits, told The Guardian that he has enjoyed spending time with his daughter, whose English name is Tabitha, but admitted that she has not changed his life.
"Lots of people warned me ... that the baby period is not that exciting," he said. "But I am excited, actually. I thought, well, I'll bluff through - but very little bluffing has been required.
"I like my daughter very much. Fantastic. Has she changed my life? I'm not sure. Not yet. Not massively, no. But I'm absolutely thrilled to have had her, I really am. And I feel a better person."
Grant said that he feels less selfish but denied that he has ever been "entirely me, me, me".
"I've had other family I look after; I have an elderly father who's not very well at the moment," he said. Granted added that he did not cry but felt "a little lumpy" when he first met his daughter. He also admitted to feeling a certain amount of pride in her existence, saying:
"There probably is some truth that one of our main functions on the planet is to reproduce, because it feels like more of an achievement than it should do. Which is nonsense, really. "But yesterday I took my daughter to see my father, who's in hospital, and all the nurses were cooing over her. And I felt, well, pride."
