The Matrix star has lived a vagabond existence, but now wants to settle down and have a family. "I’m trying not to be alone so much," the actor, 41, who costars with Sandra Bullock in this summer’s The Lake House, tells Parade magazine in its June 11 issue. "And man, it’s a struggle. I want to get married. I want to have kids. That’s at the top of the mountain. I’ve got to climb the mountain first. I’ll do it. Just give me some time."
"I’ve had a vagabond life," he says. "There is a bit of the gypsy in me, and living that way seemed to make sense. I couldn’t settle down. I liked going to new places – renting apartments, staying in hotels. Then I turned 40. That birthday is hard, perhaps because you know you’re grown-up. So now it’s a makeover for me. I have bought my first house. I wanted a home."
