Actor Luke Wilson is eager to find love and start a family - because he fears he'll be too old to play with his kids if he continues to focus on his career.

The Vacancy star, who has previously dated Drew Barrymore, admits he is well aware of his advancing years as a bachelor and he's more than ready to settle down.

But the 38 year old will have to find a girlfriend first.

He tells USA Today, "I'm working on that one. Start a family, start tucking my shirt in and wear a belt, putting the right button in the right hole.

"I've got to find the girl, number one. And then I've got to somehow make her believe in me - that's going to take a couple of years. I've got to Bs (bulls**t) her into thinking I've got my (stuff) together."

Wilson admits his busy work schedule has prevented him from actively looking for love because he's always plotting his next career move - but he worries his dream of becoming a dad will not come into fruition until it's too late.

He says, "I'm always thinking about this job or that job or when I have a movie coming out. Before you know it, a decade's gone by. And then I start to think, 'Well, hell, Anthony Quinn had kids when he was 80. I shouldn't be in a hurry.' But I don't want to have to pay a neighbourhood kid to throw the football with my kid."
