Laurence Fox On His Tough Transition To Fatherhood
Laurence, who welcomed son Winston James with his wife Billie Piper last October, tells the Daily Mail that he didn’t feel an immediate connection to the baby.
“I definitely went through really odd feelings, really animal ones such as ‘Do I even want this baby?’” he reveals. “I was like that for about two weeks after he was born. At one point I wanted to go and set fire to all my possessions. Very odd.” As for why more dads don't admit to these feelings, Laurence says, “Well, they just go and get drunk, don’t they?”
But Laurence, 30, says that one day it “just clicked” and gushes that his “gorgeous” son is now a source of joy.
“Suddenly I looked at him and thought, ‘You’re called Winston’ - I’d called him ‘it’ for ages, as in ‘it’s doing that’ - and then it just clicked. And that’s when you become - it’s awful isn’t it, when clichés are true - but that’s when you go, ‘I’m not going to ever let anything bad happen to you - ever.’”
As for Billie, 26, Laurence reveals that she has embraced motherhood. While the two share the parenting duties – she feeds Winston and he takes over for bedtime duty – Laurence says that Billie takes on most of the work without complaint. He shares his theory on new moms:
“I think women become harder when they’ve had a baby because they’ve been through something. They’re different because they’ve suffered.”

Billie Piper Makes Herself Laugh
Former pop star and Doctor Who actress Billy Piper tells Radio 1’s Jo Whiley that she's been "dancing around in the buff" to Janet Jackson while she's pregnant.
'I'm re-visiting early Janet Jackson,' she says. 'And I attempt the dance routines naked, just to make myself laugh.'
That doesn't mean her pregnancy has been easy, and it seems her husband, Lawrence Fox, is the one who most often suffers her frustration,
'Lawrence is being really good, I’m being foul,' she says. 'He seems to be quite breezy about the whole thing which is nice because otherwise that would send me in to some kind of hysteria.'
Being pregnant also made filming intimate scenes for The Secret Diary Of A Call Girl a bit difficult too,
'The smell of people repulses you,' she says. 'It must have been hard for the actors. I was sat in a corner grinding my teeth looking really vile I imagine — eating and just sweating.'
Billie has been very honest about her pregnancy has made her feel, saying that she "was eating like a horse" and felt like a sweating sea cow." The baby, the first child for the couple, is due this October.
