While Erika Christensen has made a family of her own on set of Parenthood, the single actress reveals to OK! that the new hit show has only inspired her more to have children in the future.
OK! NEWS: LAUREN GRAHAM WILL BE CAST IN NBC'S PARENTHOOD
“The good thing about the show is learning more about what happens in being a parent and it readies me for it because I am definitely going to be a parent at some point,” the 27-year-old gushed to OK! at the L.A. premiere of Mercy on Monday, “I look forward to it. It doesn’t discourage me, that’s for sure!”
Starring alongside Lauren Graham and Dax Shepard in a series all about the ups and downs of parenting, Erika admits that she does think about the chaos of being a mom at times.
“I imagine the chaos of it all like making breakfast with someone over there making eggs, someone over there buttering the toast, whatever it is. It’s like the whole assembly line of any activity with five kids.”
But, a bit of commotion won't stop this actress from getting her wish of a big family!
“Ask me after I have had the first one or two, but I have always wanted a big family,” the Parenthood star told reporters at the Egyptian Theatre.
Catch Parenthood on NBC every Tuesday night.
