Jude Law has spoken about his four children, saying they are his "bedrock".

The actor is father to sons Rafferty, 18, and Rudy ,12, and daughter Iris, 13, with ex-wife Sadie Frost as well as five-year-old daughter Sophia with model Samantha Burke.

His former girlfriend Catherine Harding is currently expecting his child.

He told the New York Post newspaper's Page Six column that he is very happy with his professional and private life, explaining: "There's always sensing the presence of age. I've done 57 films. Looking back, I can't believe I'm still working and maintaining my position.

"But I'm a happy man these days. Four children, another on the way. 

"My 18 year old's in the business. My 24 year old, a gifted musician on piano and guitar, studies music in college. They're my bedrock."

He added that he never dreamt he would be a movie star, saying: "I remember early days in London's National Theatre. Growing up in the '70s, I didn't dream of movies. Stage was possible. Movies, a dream.

"Now in the UK, I start in April filming [director Guy Ritchie's] Knights of the Round Table. I play a king."
