The 39-year-old actor and television personality admits he will find it tough being away from his wife Julia and his children, Max, six, Carey, three, and Charlotte, six weeks, when he hosts the Grammys in New York City this weekend.

He said: "I sort of can't bear being away from everybody. We just had a daughter and it feels a little soon to try and travel as a family. So unfortunately they will be in Los Angeles and I will be in New York. I think there will be a lot of FaceTiming before the show, with my wife saying, 'Breathe, shut up, get over yourself, it's not about you.' She's an incredible sort of calming presence for me."

And James feels "so lovely" after welcoming his third child.

He added: "I just feel so lovely. It's such a wonderful thing to be a parent. You realise how indifferent you were before you had children. People used to show you a photo and you'd go, 'Yea, that's a kid.' Now I go, 'Oh my God, look at that!'"

The 'Into The Woods' star feels "so lucky" to have three wonderful children.

He told People magazine: "It's so far beyond anything that we ever thought really. I also don't know if my wife and I would've gone for a third if we didn't live in California because you don't have any space in London. I feel so lucky that we have three healthy children. I just feel really blessed with all of it."
