5 Male Celebrities Who Are Proudly Child-Free And Their Reasons Why

Chris Pratt made headlines yesterday for saying people should "rush" to have kids.

He told Men's Health: "People say all the time, 'Don’t rush to have kids.' I personally disagree. Rush. Have them. Of course, make sure you find a great partner but don’t wait."

Because not everyone is in a rush to have kids, let's take a look at 5 male celebs who have chosen to remain childfree.

1.Christopher Walken

When asked by the Guardian if his career would have been possible if he had children, he responded, "Absolutely not."

2.John Cena

Last year, Drew Barrymore asked John Cena "where he was at" with having children because he would make "the world's best father."

John said, “It’s hard work. It’s hard work to balance the time I need to run myself correctly. It’s hard work to be the best partner and husband I can be to my loving wife. It's hard to keep connections with those in my life that I love. And it's also hard to put in an honest day's work."

He continued, “This is just my perspective; I think just because you might be good at something, for me, is not a strong-enough reason to do that. You have to have a passion for it. You have to have a fuel for it. It’s like saying to somebody, ‘Man, you know, you are pretty good with your hands. You'd be a great carpenter.’”

He finished answering Drew's question by saying, "It is difficult water to tread because everyone is like, When? I just know not right now."

3.Jon Hamm

He told Mr Porter, "I don't think it's necessarily an imperative. I'm not going to psychoanalyze myself here, but…well, never say never. I've got nieces and nephews and I've been a teacher. I've probably been around kids a lot more than all my friends. I feel if you shut that off entirely, you calcify. You turn into that guy."

4.Ricky Gervais

He told Ellen DeGeneres (via Hello magazine), "I'd worry sick about a baby. I have a cat and I worry about that. I check the door three times before I go out. I put food and water in every room in case the door closes and he's peckish for 20 minutes."

5.And lastly, Seth Rogen (who has talked about it a few times)

He told Howard Stern (via the Independent), "I don’t know anyone who gets as much happiness out of their kids as we get out of our nonkids. Like, we’re fucking psyched all the time! We’re laying in bed on Saturday mornings smoking weed, watching movies naked. If we had kids, we could not be fucking doing this.”

Seth talked about his choice not to have kids another time earlier this year.

“A lot of people have kids before they even think about it, from what I've seen honestly. You just are told, you go through life, you get married, you have kids — it’s what happens," he said.

“Me and my wife, neither of us were like that. Honestly, the older we get the more happy and reaffirmed we are with our choice to not have kids. It was something we kind of talked about more, and we were like, ‘Have we made the right choice? Are we sure'"? he asked.

“Now, more than anything, the conversation is like, ‘Honestly, thank god we don’t have children. We get to do whatever we want.”
