Hugh Grant makes an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in an episode airing Friday (April 27).

The 51-year-old actor chatted about fatherhood and his daughter, Tabitha. "It's very nice. I can't pretend it wasn't a little bit of a surprise but, it's a very nice surprise. In fact, the baby's name in Chinese — because her mother is Chinese — means 'happy surprise,'" Hugh told Ellen. Asked what the name is, Hugh revealed, "Jingxi. It's one of the baby's names."

"It's surprising that everyone was right all these years. Saying 'Hugh, why don't you have some children. It changes your life.' And, you're thinking, oh shut-up. And now that I have [a child] it is life changing," he added. "I recommend it. Get some."

51歲的英國演員休·格蘭特近日參加了《艾倫秀》（ The Ellen DeGeneres Show）的錄制。在節(jié)目上，他表示，女兒的出生給他帶去了許多改變。由于女兒是中英混血，所以除了有了個英文名“Tabitha”之外，他還為女兒取了個特別的中文名：驚喜（Jingxi）。

不過，休·格蘭特和孩子媽媽——前任中國女友Tinglan Hong（洪婷蘭）在孩子出生前就已和平分手，并就孩子的撫養(yǎng)權(quán)問題達成協(xié)議。休·格蘭特有著英倫情人的美譽，代表作包括《四個婚禮一個葬禮》、《諾丁山》、《BJ單身日記》等愛情輕喜劇片。
