Australian Oscar winner and bad boy Russell Crowe wants to have a third child.
"I have two beautiful children and I hope to have a third one, but probably will not bring that up with the wife just yet," Crowe said on the Nine Network's 60 Minutes program.
The movie star suggested his wife Danielle Spencer may want a break before another pregnancy, following the birth of their youngest child, Tennyson Spencer Crowe, on July 7.
In the interview, originally broadcast on the US show 60 Minutes, Crowe talked about his explosive temper.
Crowe was charged with assault last year after throwing a telephone at a concierge at the Mercer Hotel in New York when he was unable to complete a call to his wife in Sydney. The phone struck the man in the face.
He was fined $US160 ($A218) and given a conditional discharge, which meant he must stay out of trouble - and not be arrested - for 12 months.
He admitted he had a temper, adding it ran in his family. But, he said, the New York incident would not have attracted nearly as much attention had it happened in Australia.
"It was a $160 fine ... so it wasn't important (enough to warrant the) 200 press people turning up to a courthouse, was it," he said of last November's court case.
"Where I come from, a confrontation like that, as basic and simple as that, would have been satisfied with a handshake and an apology."
Asked to describe Hollywood in one word he said: "Employment".
Crowe said his way of talking straight, both during interviews and when in public, came from the heart but, perhaps, was not the best approach these days.
"So I'd never make a politician," he said.
