Kevin Costner: "I'd kill for my kids"
Kevin Costner plays a man with a murderous alter ego in Mr. Brooks, intheaters Friday, and the actor tells Parade magazine that he too hassome killer instincts when it comes to his children, Annie, 23, Lily,21, Joe, 19, Liam, 10, and Cayden Wyatt, 3 weeks, from whom he never knows what to expect.
Well, [my kids are] always a surprise, but the reality is I’d kill for my kids. Andthat’s a bold statement. It makes everybody sit up, but that’s inside us. And that’s inside themovie, as an idea. I hope to be surprised…I want to be surprised tomorrow. There’s great pleasurein that experience.
One thing he’s not surprised with, though, is being a new father, as he jokes,
I’mnot surprised. I knew [wife Christine] was pregnant for nine months. It wasn’t,’Holy Toledo! What just happened?’ I knew we were expecting.
As for how he is around Cayden, Kevin says there’s a lot of wondering and suspense.
I’m like every male, going, ‘What’s happening with him? He looks kind of thesame today as he looks yesterday. When is he going to start wanting to play?’ You move them alittle too much and they start crying. The great thing is it’s familiar and it’s original.
