It&#8217;s really beautiful.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Someone was smart enough to &#8230; remind me to remind myself when he was born to put myself in my body and recognise that moment when he came out. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;And you do feel like your DNA just starts flipping in a different way the minute you lay eyes on him. It&#8217;s a beautiful, beautiful thing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Devil Wears Prada 2 actor previously admitted fathrhood was &#8220;so much better&#8221; than he had imagined it to be.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe recently gushed on Today: \u201cIt&#8217;s so much better [than I imagined].<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;And, of course, I&#8217;ve been told by other fathers, \u2018Wait \u2018til you see this child. You&#8217;re gonna fall in love.&#8217; <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;And you still always have that little moment of, \u2018Is that really going to happen?&#8217; and the minute he appears, your whole life just starts to revolve around this thing, and your heart just opens up in a beautiful way.
