Minnie Driver keen for more kids

Minnie Driver - who has an 18-month-old son Henry - always thought she would have at least five children and wants to expand her family.

Minnie Driver is "surprised" she has only one child.

The 40-year-old actress grew up dreaming of having a large family and still hopes to have siblings for her 18-month-old son Henry.

Minnie - who refuses to name Henry's father - said: "Growing up, I thought I'd have at least five kids. I'm surprised I have only one; I really want more."

The British star never intended to wait so long before having children, but insists she has no regrets about how her life has turned out.

She added to the Times Online website: "It was never the right time, right place or right person. Too many women put it off until everything is in place, but there's never a perfect time, is there?

"I wouldn't change a thing about what I've done in the past because what may have been bad choices have all led me to this moment. I'm incredibly happy because I've got my beautiful baby and lovely partner. Everybody is cool with the situation."

Minnie recently returned to the UK to film a new drama, 'The Deep', and while she was delighted to see her friends and family, insists she would never bring Henry up outside of California.

She said: "It's been great for Henry to spend time with his cousins. Could I move back? No.

"I live my life outdoors, surfing, hiking, riding and running along the beach in the sunshine, having barbecues; even though I miss home, I could do the things I wanted to, personally and professionally."
