The 38-year-old hunk is in a "great place" since marrying actress Blake Lively and having his six-month-old daughter James, saying he feels like he's been dealt "the ultimate trump card" to have been blessed with his family.

He said: "I'm in a great place. I have a family and a little girl, and I honestly couldn't be happier right now. There's just no place I'd rather be, it's the ultimate trump card.

"It seems almost unbelievable that she's already a half-year old. That's why I want to make the most of this time in her life."

And the 'Green Lantern' actor - who was previously married to 'Lucy' star Scarlett Johansson and engaged to musician Alanis Morrisette - insisted he loves every part of parenthood, revealing he thinks getting up in the middle of the night to soothe his tot is "the best thing in the world".

He gushed to the Daily Mirror newspaper: "It's the most exciting time you can imagine.

"You try to get used to the idea of waking up several times in the night to feed your baby or change diapers or rock your child back to sleep.

"Sometimes you're in such a state you don't even remember getting up and walking in the house at 3am.

"Normally you'd go crazy interrupting your sleep that way but when it's your baby, it's the best thing in the world.

"For me, it's such a great relief to no longer be the centre of my own universe."
