    Joshua Jackson wants to raid the 'Doctor Odyssey' set to furnish his new home

    The 46-year-old actor's house in Topanga Canyon - which he lived in for the first eight years of his life and then bought as an adult in 2001 -was destroyed in the Los Angeles wildfires in January and when he "eventually" rebuilds, he'd love to take some of the "comfortable" pieces of furniture that are used on the show


    He told People magazine: "I will say the chairs and couches are the only time I've ever been on a set where the chairs and couches are actually comfortable.

    "And since I find myself not owning any furniture, by the time the show is over, it would be nice to be able to take a couple of those things to my new house eventually."

    Despite his sadness at losing his home, Joshua recently insisted he is "excited" about making a fresh start with his and ex-wife Jodie Turner-Smith's four-year-old daughter Juno.

    Speaking on 'The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon', he said: "It is my childhood home, and it is the place that I've lived, on and off, for the last 25 years.

    "And was, for the last four-and-a-half years, or four-and-three-quarters years as she likes to tell me now, has been the place where my daughter and I, and when my wife and I were still together, where we lived. So, not great."

    The 46-year-old actor felt detached from the property when he went to see the damage and realised it could represent a new beginning for himself and his daughter.

    He added: "But you know, when I went to go see it, I'm standing in front of this thing and it's still literally smoking. And I'm looking at it, I'm like, 'This bears no relation to my home. This is just a pile of stuff that burned in a fire.'

    "And in some ways, I'm actually excited for the opportunity...that house has given me so much over the years, right? And I have loved it, and it has loved me. It has everything: the heartbreak, the baby, just life. All of life is in there.

    "Every floorboard is a piece of my story. And I'm excited to build a new house that doesn't have all of Daddy's history in it, that is for her and I.

    "So when she grows up, every floorboard has her story in it. And so in some ways, it's not how I would have chosen to do a remodel, but in some ways I'm actually excited about the process."

    Joshua previously insisted he felt "incredibly lucky" after the fires because his loved ones were all safe and well.

    He said in a statement: "First and most importantly, all the people closest to me affected by the fire are ok. My daughter, my family, my neighbours all made it out safely.

    "Sadly my beautiful home did not survive the fires. But today, I feel incredibly lucky to be surrounded by the people I love."
