The star, who is set to welcome his first child with wife Blake Lively, says that he is ready to embrace every aspect of his new role as a father.
Speaking at an event in New York over the weekend, the 38-year-old said: “I don’t have a weak stomach. I’m good with diapers and diarrhoea and all that kind of stuff because I have lots of nieces and nephews, so I’ve done it before.”
When asked what he is most looking forward to about impending parenthood, he gave a suitably adorable answer.
“I’m just excited about having a buddy. We don’t know if it’s a boy or a girl yet, but whatever it is, you have this tether to reality that never goes away,” he said.
What a beautiful sentiment. He is going to make a fantastic dad.
Blake and Ryan announced their wonderful news last month, with actress Blake sharing a beautiful photo of her baby bump on her website Preserve.
She went on to share a post about her baby shower and preparations, writing: “With a new baby on the way there is so much to do! But before experiencing the joy of 3 a.m. screams, seemingly impossible amounts of poop, and having a favorite shirt covered in reflux...there are presents to open, onesies to dye, there is cake to serve, advice to be shared, and all-around celebration to be had.”
What an exciting time for this lovely couple.
