Josh Holloway: 'There's a Reason Why Women Have Babies'

Limelight

Looks can be deceiving, in more ways than one! During a recent appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres ShowJosh Holloway was quick to downplay the notion that he appears well-rested.

“I’m good at faking it,” the Lost star — dad to 9-month-old daughter Java — said. “She was up all night.”

All the sleep deprivation has apparently begun to take a toll! Josh then launched into a humorous story about one early morning wake-up call that actually wasn’t.

“Men … we say we get up at night and we try our best to get up at night and be a warrior. I was doing all that and still am,” he explains, “but this is just how bad we are.”

“I got up, and I am sitting there burping the baby when my wife scolds me. [She said,] ‘What are you doing?’ And I was just in shock. Like, ‘What do you mean what am I doing?’”

Josh then told wife Yessica Kumala to “be quiet … I am burping the baby.” His shock soon turned to confusion when Yessica, in turn, informed him that it was she who was in fact holding Java.

“I was burping the couch,” Josh, 40, revealed with a laugh. “I had a pillow [and was burping it].”

“So we’re not so talented. There’s a reason why women have babies.”

Billie Piper on Childbirth: 'I Enjoyed the Experience Deeply'

An “epic” labor which ended in an emergency c-section is singled out by Billie Piper as her proudest moment in a new interview.

“I enjoyed the experience deeply,” the 27-year-old Secret Diary of a Call Girl star tells the Daily Mail. “Having a child is such a profoundly emotional moment; It’s a bit of a cliché, but it really is incredible how much the act of giving birth affects you.”

Just about as much as her own childhood has shaped her person she’s become. “Massively,” she concurs. “You realize that more and more when you become a mom yourself.”

“You repeat the rules and morals that your parents set in you to your own child. That’s when you realize just how deeply entrenched they are in you.”

Son Winston James, 15 months, is “very willful” and Billie predicts that she and husband Laurence Fox “are going to have our hands full with him in the future.” Although she says she “used to want a big family,” the plans have been scaled back — somewhat! “Now, I’d be really happy with three children,” she explains.

When asked what makes her most happy, Billie doesn’t hesitate.

“I think I am always happiest when I am spending time with Winston. I know it sounds so clichéd, but I really do love being a mum — it gives you an amazing sense of happiness.”

Some vestiges of her pre-mom life remain, however. Listing “roll-up cigarettes and red wine” as her biggest vices, Billie says that she didn’t smoke throughout the duration of her pregnancy.

“I thought I did really well not to, for nine months,” she says. “When Winston was born, I decided I didn’t want to smoke cigarettes any more, as they are full of chemicals, so I turned to roll-ups instead. I do love them.”

The new season of Secret Diary of a Call Girl begins tonight at 10 p.m. on Showtime.
