Bradley Cooper is eager to start a family!

The hunky actor revealed to Square Mile magazine that he "would love to be a father one day."

"I'm sorry my father won't be around to see his grandchildren, but he knows fatherhood was something I was looking forward to," he shared. "That's my next big step in life."

Cooper, who is currently dating British model Suki Waterhouse, also opened up about finally making it big in Hollywood after being in the business for years.

"I struggled for a long time, and you never forget what you went through to finally make it. Even with the success I've had, I still fight for roles that I don't wind up getting, so there's still enough uncertainty to keep you hungry."

He continued, "There's this crushing anxiety you feel when you're not getting the parts you want, and you wonder if acting is your destiny."

But Cooper explains to the mag that there's one co-star who always seems to put him at ease on set: Jennifer Lawrence.

The two have starred opposite one another in two mega-successful David O. Russell flicks, Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle, and will have the Susanne Bier-directed film, Serena, released later this year.

"We've had so much fun working together, and I'm so proud of her success," he gushed.

"She's one of the most down to Earth and unpretentious individuals you could ever meet, and it's such a pleasure to spend time with her."

But his (platonic) love letter to J.Law didn't end there, he continued, "She's incredibly talented; she's one of those natural performers who are instinctively good at what they do."

The original interview can be read in the October issue of Square Mile, out Oct. 7.
