Russell Brand wants kids

Funny man Russell Brand, 34, is ready for children. Wonder if his girlfriend, singer Katy Perry, 25, feels the same way!

Russell is known for having relations with LOTS of women, but insists that he is ready to settle down.

He says: “Katy’s lovely. I am living in a different way at the moment.

“Regardless of what happens in my current situation, I am unlikely to be satisfied with calamitous promiscuity of the preceding five or six years.

“I am ready for children actually. It’s been seven years since I took drugs. I’ve made a film. I don’t have to fight so much. I’ve grown weary of the carousel.”

The pair has been dating since September when they met at the MTV Video Music Awards.

Russell says he has “high expectations” of his girlfriends because of his upbringing.

“I’m an only child of a single mother — it probably meant that I’m demanding and have high expectations of women.

“I look for salvation and redemption, to be utterly embraced. It’s a ridiculous, romantic and tragic idea that there’s someone who’s going to save you, that we need our own personal Jesus. Salvation comes from within.”
