Ryan Phillippe's father vow

24-08-2007 11:30

Ryan Phillippe only spends time away from his children to make "serious" movies.

The handsome actor - whose estranged wife Reese Witherspoon achieved global fame as ditzy Elle Woods in the 'Legally Blonde' movies - isn't interested in starring in "fun" films, because it's more important for him to be a good dad.

Ryan told BANG Showbiz: "I like making movies that make people think. I like making movies that push buttons, or make people uncomfortable, or question the world around them.

"That is something that is satisfying to me when I choose to take time away from my children to dedicate myself to work.

"I enjoy watching fun movies but if I put my time and focus into a project I like it to resonate and to mean something.

"I think the best art challenges people and that's exciting to me."

Ryan, 32, and Reese, 31, have two children - seven-year-old daughter Ava and three-year-old son Deacon.
