Colin Firth: Sometimes I absolutely loathe kids

But Bridget Jones actor loves his own children

Friday, 5 September 2008

Squeaky-clean Colin Firth says he doesn't always get along with other people’s children.

‘I don’t always love kids,’ he says. ‘Sometimes I absolutely loathe them. Children are just people who haven’t lived very long yet.

'I’m predisposed to be affectionate if someone’s smaller but if they’re loathsome in the first five minutes, they’re loathsome.’

But Colin, 47, gushes about his own brood - Luca, 7, and Matteo, 5, with wife Livia Giuggioli, and son William, 17, with actress ex Meg Tilly.

‘However much you want to b***** off and be alone, it’s not long before you start to miss your children,’ he says.

‘After just a couple of hours I’m longing to see them at the end of every day.’
