Callum Turner is already nostalgic about his future as a dad.
The One Night Onlystar tied the knot with Dua Lipa in May after over two years of dating, and has since shared that starting a family with the pop star is a top priority.
“I’m 36,” Turner told <a href="https://www.esquire.com/uk/culture/a73413224/callum-turner-interview/” rel=”nofollow noopener” target=”_blank”>Esquire in an interview published Aug. 18 of what he hopes his future will hold in addition to booking more blockbusters. “I’d like to have a family and raise some kids.”
As such, the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them actor noted a few traits that he’s fine-tuned over his career as an actor and model, which could one day contribute to his success as a parent.
“I’m more determined than hard on myself,” Callum continued. “I like structure, I like routine and I like rhythm.”
While Turner is ready to dive into the next chapter with parenthood, he’s also still reveling in the memories of his and Lipa’s show-stopping wedding in Italy—with a celebrity guest list including Donatella Versace, Charli XCX and Elton John.

“It was amazing, and it was the most beautiful day of my life,” the London native gushed, adding that receiving congratulations from fans to this day feels “pretty surreal.”
