Liev Schreiber meant to be a father

Liev Schreiber and Naomi Watts may not have names picked out yet or done much baby shopping (”It’s gonna start soon, I can imagine”), but the actor feels prepared for impending fatherhood. Naomi is due with their first child in late July and Liev can hardly wait for the arrival.

It feels like something I’ve always wanted to do and was meant to do. I’m looking forward to it. I’ve always felt like, kids and dogs, I get. There’s a purity and simplicity and innocence to them that I feel like is the best thing in life.

After the curtain closes on his Broadway show Talk Radio on June 24, for which he received a Tony nomination, Liev has no doubt what his next gig will be.

I’m going to have a kid. I think that’s pretty substantial. I’m trying to write, and in between changing diapers, there will be time to do that.
