"I have this image of being 68 years old," he sahres, "and living in a big house with the wifey. And we'll have little cottages for each one of our six or seven children's families in, like, a semi-circle around it." But even if some members of the brood do fly the coop, the actor still pictures everyone gathering together at Christmastime around his super-sized table.
