Papa Don't Preach: HIM's Ville Valo talks fatherhood

HIM frontman Ville Valo has exclusively revealed his plans for fatherhood. Although not yet ready to bring a child into the world, the Finnish singer is really looking forward to the prospect in the future.

"I love kids," says the vocalist, "a lot of my friends have been having them. I think we've reached that age. If I was a father, I'd like to be able to be around for the kid and that isn't possible in the band at the moment as we're traveling so much."

When asked about his suitability as a parent, Ville says he's certain he'll be an excellent father.

"I'd be a hell of a dad," he reveals. "I've got a good sense of humour, good music taste and I collect toys and cartoons. I have everything a kid needs!"

Despite his rock 'n' roll touring and less than conventional lifestyle, Ville also believes he would be a firm but fair role model.

"You've got to be strict to a certain point," he says. "I think honesty is the most important thing. If you give your kids the benefit of your experience and tell them the dangers, then they can make their own minds up. I'd tell my kids that they're never on their own, that there's always someone there to care for them and that they should respect that."

That's just too cute.
I think anyone would be extremely privileged to have Ville as a Father.
Sounds awesome actually.
Too bad not all fathers are like that...

He's so young, though! He's only 30! What's he want to have a kid for now? I wasn't born until my dad was 4 months away from turning 40.

I'd have Ville's baby, though.

i don't think so. well he is young, but for ex. i was born when my dad was 23 :D

...as much as i love the band i think it would be nice for ville to have a kid...it could be now it could be later who cares?...and his point of view sounds interesting..and makes loads of sense...i think he would be a great daddy too...ville and whoever it is he settles down with will most likely have a kid with great personality and common sense...especially because ville has so much to tell...LOL!...i'm sure the mother will to though...LOL!

well if he plays his cards right and can be honest long enough maybe we will see how much of a father he can be.

NO!!!!, yo no quierp que tenga hijos porque para eso debe tener una mujer y yo no quiero perder a ville ya que el es el amor de mi vida. Ahora si es eso lo que lo hace feliz, que lo haga, aunque apesar que tiene un monton de seguidora, no ha ido tambien en el amor.
