Liv Tyler on how Milo got his name – and his word for bird

Actress Liv Tyler, 29, recently traveled to Mexico to shoot a cover and spread for Elle Mexico, in which she posed with exotic birds. Milo William Langdon, 2, whom Liv had brought along, was especially excited to see the feathered creatures up close — calling them ‘guau, guau.’

Liv took the first two years of Milo’s life off from work, so that she could experience motherhood to the fullest extent. Of that time, she shares,

[Motherhood's] wonderful, it’s the best thing I’ve ever done in my life, but I admit that at the beginning it wasn’t easy, you just don’t take care of yourself. There were days when the night arrived and I hadn’t had a shower, was still in my pajamas, but then you get used to it. About coming back to acting, I didn’t find it that complicated because I love acting, I love my job and I have had the advantage that I could take Milo with me.

Regarding Milo’s name, Liv explained why she and husband Royston Langdon chose the moniker for their boy.

We thought a lot [about] the name, but when he was born, we decided he looked like a Milo — that’s the reason.
