Leighton Meester wants children with Adam Brody

Leighton Meester would like to have children with Adam Brody.

The ‘Gossip Girl’ star – who married the 34-year-old actor earlier this year – has revealed she wants to follow in the footsteps of pregnant co-star Blake Lively.

She told Nylon magazine:  »Most people I know are starting to get married.

 »It’ll be kids next. I like the grown-up stuff. I like having a house. I’ve got dogs. »

Meanwhile, the 28-year-old – who starred as Blair Waldorf in ‘Gossip Girl’ – believes the drama series gave her a big break.

She said:  »I started the show when I was so young, and once it was over, I wanted to do things that were exciting and challenging and more me – more my adult taste.

 »Of course, that’s said with nothing but gratitude and love for that experience in that time of my life. »

However, Leighton has revealed that she thinks it’s hard to find these more complex female roles.

She explained:  »As far as scripts go, the roles of women standing alone on their own as whole, real, full people are few and far between.

 »So with both of those roles [‘Life Partners’ and ‘Like Sunday, Like Rain’ – her most recent parts], what I loved is that neither of them are centred around romantic relationships.

 »They’re flawed, real human beings that I could bread down and really enjoy playing. They’re like me, in a way. »
