Russell Brand wants kids

Russell Brand wants to have children.

The 37-year-old actor - who was married to Katy Perry for just 14 months before they divorced last year - would love to engage in a 'serious relationship' and start a family, and admits he would consider tying the knot again, despite the 'hullabaloo' from his first short-lived effort.

He said: 'I would like a serious relationship but I don't think I am sending the correct signals. I would like that. It's alright, the world of roaming promiscuity, but ultimately you want some babies.

'I would like a little one. I would possibly get married.

'Once you have done a marriage there is a lot of hullabaloo if it does not work out. I believe in romantic love.'

While the long-haired lothario - who reclaimed The Sun newspaper's Russell Brand Sh****r of the Year award in 2012, despite the prize being retired in 2010 after he won it in 2006, 2007, 2008 - is now keen to settle down, he is proud of his womanising ways.

Speaking on British chat show 'Alan Carr: Chatty Man', which will be broadcast on Friday (29.03.13), he added: 'I reclaimed my Sh****r of the Year crown only last year.

'And when you think of all the new sh*****s now like young Harry Styles and Doctor Who it is quite an achievement.

'I have sh***ed them all out of the business. It is a like a Muhammad Ali comeback. I have taken them all out.'
