Actor Gerard Butler says he wants to become a father and start a family in the next five years

Actor, Gerard Butler has got baby on his mind. The 47-year-old star said he's hoping to settle down and have children within the next five years.

The Olympus Has Fallen star told People magazine that becoming a father is one of the roles he'd love to play in real life.

"In five years I want to be in a relationship," Butler told the publication. "I'd love to have one or two kids — it's about time."

He said that because of his career, dating took a backseat and this has affected his opportunities to create a family. With five films in the pipeline for the next few years, the 300 actor said it's difficult for him to even find the time to pursue a family.

"I have no personal life," Butler admitted.

But he hopes to change that in the nearest future and start his own family.
