Josh Hartnett doesn't know he'll ever be in a movie that is suitable for his children.

The 46-year-old actor - who has four children all under the age of 10 with his wife Tamsin Egerton - has appeared in a number of blockbusters like 'Oppenheimer' and 'Wrath of Man' over the years but admitted he wold love to make something like an animation so his kids could be involved in his career.

He told E! News: "If someone were to offer me a movie that my kids could watch, I would take it in an instant. But because of the way Hollywood works now, they see me in a different light, and I don't know if I get those roles now. We'll see. But if something comes along# in an animated world or something that's made for children, I would definitely want to do that for my kids. I would love for them to be able to come to the premiere."

The '40 Days and 40 Nights' star is about to launch his latest film role as serial killer in 'Trap' and explained that this movie - in which he stars alongside screen legend Hayley Mills and R+B singer Saleka - was a "blessing" to take on because he is "nothing like" his character.

He said: "It’s supposed to be a really fun ride with unexpected twists, but also a characterization that is unlike hopefully other things you've seen out there before. And this character was such a blessing to take on because there's nothing else like him. I had such a fun time making this film.

"It's extremely gratifying that people are interested in what I'm doing. I mean, we don't make movies for ourselves, we make them for an audience. As much as I like to challenge myself, I also want the audience to want to go on that ride. So, it's extremely gratifying that people are liking what I'm doing right now."
