Liev Schreiber has said that he feels "spiritually younger" since becoming a father.

The 41-year-old actor, who has two children with fiancée Naomi Watts, has admitted that he "feels much older" but that fatherhood has altered his state of mind in a positive way.

Schreiber told People: "I'm older physically, but spiritually much younger."

As far as his 2-year-old son Pete learning how to talk, the Taking Woodstock actor has said that he is thrilled to hear his son expressing himself.

"Sasha has learned how to say 'I love you'. It's unrecognisable but he does say it. Rhythmically he can kind of sound it out. It kind of sounds like 'Iwoveu', which is very exciting."
