Stephen Dorff wants to settle down

Stephen Dorff, 37, thinks it is about time he found someone to settle down and have children with.

Stephen Dorff wants to settle down and have children.

The 'Somewhere' actor has curbed his partying ways and, now that he is 37, is ready to find a girlfriend and start a family.

He said: "I would like a family. You know, I'm not rolling out of nightclubs any more.

"I don't have a significant other and all my friends are getting older. I kind of want that for myself."

Though he has no children himself, Stephen bonded well with 12-year-old actress Elle Fanning when they worked together on 'Somewhere' and he admits he misses hanging out with the young star.

He added: "Elle is so smart and sweet. She just became my leading lady - I'd forget she was 12. I really missed her afterwards."

Stephen recently admitted he thinks Hollywood is fickle having seen a resurgence in popularity since he starred in 'Somewhere'.

He said: "It's just funny how fickle Hollywood is. Two years ago, I was losing all these parts to guys I won't mention.

"And now I'm getting all these parts. And 'Somewhere' hasn't even come out yet. It's very strange. But I've been doing this so long, it doesn't surprise me."
