O'Connell: 'I rap to my baby daughters'

Jerry O'Connell has revealed that he enjoys singing rap songs to his baby daughters when he puts them to bed.

The Carpoolers actor, who has 8-month-old twin girls Charlie and Dolly with wife Rebecca Romijn, said that he changes some of the lyrics of his favourite hip-hop music to make it suitable for their ears.

O'Connell told People magazine: "At bedtime I softly sing rap songs by guys like Slick Rick or Biggie Smalls - but without the curse words. I have favourite little bedtime nighties I put them in which say, 'I love Project Runway'."

Talking about fatherhood, he continued: "I grew up with all boys in my family, where there was no place for girlie stuff. But it's amazing to walk into my house now. Everything is pink!"

O'Connell added: "Now I understand dressing girls. I can experiment. I can do mini-pigtails on Charlie, and on Dolly I can get barrettes in her hair."
