Liev Says His Boys Are Driving Him Bonkers

Liev Schreiber loves his sons, no doubt, but he says the combination of a 4-month-old and a 21-month-old in the house is not exactly a recipe for peace and tranquility.

"There's nothing fun about the age they're at right now. Each one on their own is insanely fun, but the combination of the two of them after hours is just chaos. I don't remember the last time I slept like a human being."

Hopefully, that's just the exhaustion talking. I'm pretty sure there's got to be at least one fun thing about the age they're at now, it's just hard to enjoy it when you're at your breaking point.

Sure, having two young children can push you to the limits of your own sanity, but at least it also helps prepare you for advanced interrogation techniques like sleep depravation. You never know, maybe Liev will get cast as a Jack Bauer-esque hero in a future film, now that he's broken into the action movie genre with his portrayal of Sabretooth in X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

Liev's had a pretty busy month, with the premiere of the X-Men movie and a scarry trip to the hospital with Sasha. Thankfully, everything seems to be A-okay with 21-month-old.

Watts And Schreiber's Son Taken To Hospital

Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber got a pretty huge scare last night when their 21-month-old son Sasha went to the hospital with respiratory problems.

Luckily, everything seems to be okay now, and little Sasha has come home after a night in the hospital. Says Schreiber's rep:

“Sasha got home today and is feeling much better after being hospitalized on Tuesday night with respiratory problems.”

If you happened to be lucky enough to get a ticket to the LA premiere of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, you may have noticed that Liev, who plays Sabretooth in the flick, was nowhere to be found. That's because he immediately flew to New York to be with his family.

That who experience had to be really freaky for Naomi and Liev, I'm glad that little Alexander "Sasha" Pete is going to be alright. I'm sure the family is super relieved.

Naomi Watts And Liev Schreiber Moving To The Land Down Under?

It sure isn't New York City, but it sounds like Liev Schreiber is starting to get cozy with the idea of packing it all up and moving the family out to Naomi's native land, Australia.

“I was able to get into a rhythm and I got a feel for the lifestyle and the quality of life there... It’s just unbeatable, plus if you’re raising kids, I can’t imagine a better place.”

If Liev and Naomi are going to move their kids to Australia, now's the time to do it, with sons (Sasha, 21 months, and Samuel, 4 months) still at a very young age.

It shouldn't be terribly difficult to adjust. At least they speak the same language in Australia -- albeit with a wildly different accent -- and maintain a pretty similar culture.

Apparently, the paps are pretty intense in Australia, and Liev isn't going to like that. According to Schreiber, his emotions towards the paparazzi have grown much more intense since the birth of his children.

“I was fine until [21-month-old Alexander] ‘Sasha’ [Pete] came along and then I started to get aggro,” he says with a laugh. “As an actor, I think I’d never kind of reached the heights of fame that Naomi had, and so when she came into my life it was a real test on our relationship.”

“I didn’t like that she was bringing all that attention with her and I think I probably blamed her for it in the beginning. But after a while, I acclimated to it and then, of course, Sasha was born and I had to acclimate to it all over again.”
