"Magical" experience
The 34-year-old actress admits that she wants to enjoy life to the full and likes the idea of having children because it would be a "magical" and "wild experience".

Speaking to Bustle magazine, she explains: "I'm so open to it. I'm at a point now where I really want to experience everything that life has to offer. And especially as a woman, I think, 'What a magical thing. What a crazy, magical, wild experience.' If that's for me, I'm totally up for it."

The "Madame Web" actress adds, "I've been a little freaked out lately because we're not here for long. There's so much to soak up and learn and grow from and experience and feel.... And then I think to myself, 'We won't be here long, so if you want me to be a mom, go for it'
