Henry Golding wants to become a "cool dad"

Henry said: "I want to be one of those cool dads.

"It’s harder than it sounds. I think, I’m sure your kids go through phases of you being that greatest hero, to the most embarrassing human in their eyes. So I look forward to living out all of those."

Henry and Liv announced their pregnancy news in November, and the Hollywood actor is looking forward to the challenge.

He told Us Weekly: "I want to be the guy sort of dressing up in weird outfits and picking them up from school and embarrassing them, like, continuously.

"But I want to be a father that’s there for them, and when times are tough and things aren’t exactly going the way that they are, especially living in this day and age, with kids having to be at home and home-schooled, and parents having to go through real struggles in their business, and perhaps their small businesses. Keeping that family together and in good spirits, I think that’s also a father’s responsibility."

Henry already knows the sex of his child, but the loved-up couple are determined to keep the pregnancy private.

The 'Crazy Rich Asians' star said: "We know the sex. We’re keeping it on the down-low.

"We’ve got a name sort of rattling around, which I think it’s only fair that she … my wife, she thinks that the baby should actually hear the name first.

"So, we’ve been trying to hold out on telling anyone. We’ve got the baby room sorted. We’ve got about a month and a half left, I think, of sanity I hear. But you can only be as prepared as possible.

"I think you have to learn on the fly in some respects. It’s a marathon. So we’re going to take it easy."
