Russell brand is overjoyed with the news that he is going to be a father real soon.
In the current issue of Britain's ES magazine, the 41-year-old actor shares his life outside of the limelight, specifically the preparations he is presently doing as both he and his 27-year-old girlfriend Laura Gallacher await for their first child.
"I feel lit up by the idea I'm very excited about becoming a dad and I'm preparing myself," he said to the magazine. "I am just getting ready to be with a new little person and see what it is they want."
The baby rumors started in June, but it was only on July that Brand officially confirmed the baby news using his Instagram account. However, both Brand and Gallacher are still unaware of their baby's gender.
"I might never find out," he said jokingly. "I may never look."
Before the arrival of their bundle of joy, Brand reveals to E! News that Gallacher has been focused on "decorating the nursery. Around domestic issues, my vote is often secondary...Or the vote of my gender at least, so I will just wait to see what is determined."
He also hopes that their child will not be that of a trouble unlike what he did to his own parents, adding that he was a very "mischievous little boy."
"I always had this tremendous sense that I could do whatever I wanted, probably from a combination of my mother's devotion and my father's sense of 'can-do' individualism," he narrated.
Brand also said that he remains close with his mother, stating, "She's very well and she's so excited to become a grandmother. She's a beautiful, kind woman who taught me through example that it's really important to be compassionate, loving and understanding, to put other people before yourself."
Daily Mail said that Brand and Gallacher's first romance ended last 2007. They were spotted together in 2009 before they decided to reunite last year when they went for a romantic weekend in Rome, Italy. Furthermore, Brand proposed to Gallacher in July.
