Grant thinking about fatherhood at 49

Hugh Grant hasn't given up on fatherhood - he just fears he'd need a lot of nannies.

The bachelor admits he really didn't want kids a decade ago, but the fact that he's now surrounded by the children of friends and family members has made him realise he could be a good dad.

The About A Boy star tells the upcoming issue of America's Parade magazine, "I have so many nephews and nieces and cousins and godchildren, I like the thought (of kids), but thats on the basis that I can leave after 10 minutes.

"I dont know what it would be like 24 hours a day. I think Id have a lot of nannies.

"But I havent given up hope... I find Im not as bad with children as I used to be."
