“Someday that’s absolutely gonna happen,” Leo told Access Hollywood. “And I look forward to it.”
But, he doesn't hear his biological clock ticking just yet.
The 35-year-old actor also talked about having children with Swiss newspaper, Le Matin, saying, “Do I want to be a father?" Leo asked the Swiss newspaper (via Access Hollywood). "Yes, but I think I have a few more years.”

And he also believes he can play a great father on screen, without being one in real life.
“That said, I don’t think I need to have children to play a father in the movies," Leo, who plays the father of two young children in Inception, said. "This feeling is in me, I understand it completely. In my private life, I still have time to become a dad, and I’ve no desire to rush.”
