Brooklyn Decker thinks Sir Elton John wants her child's life to be "a living hell".
The model-and-actress is currently expecting her first baby with her tennis player husband Andy Roddick, who she tied the knot with in 2009. It's an exciting time for the couple and they're open to any suggestions, even when it comes to names.
"We have been given some advice by, actually a fellow Englishman of yours, Mr Sir Elton John," Brooklyn smiled to James Corden on The Late Late Show. "My husband has a foundation and Elton came to play at his foundation, which was pretty incredible, and he was giving us advice. Basically, [he suggests] Elton, any name from Lord of the Rings, and anything that starts with an R so the child has a difficult time pronouncing their own name. So basically he wants to make this kid's life a living hell. Which is fine with me because that's what they're there for, to mess with."
Joining her on the sofa of the chat show was mother of three Susan Sarandon, who became a grandmother last year after her daughter Eva had a little girl with her husband Kyle. The Thelma & Louise actress spent the US holiday Mother's Day with them last Sunday and enjoyed spending time with nine-month-old Marlowe, who Susan describes as a "wild and kickass little girl".
The 68-year-old especially enjoys the freedom to sit on the fence this time round.
"[Being a grandmother is] SO much easier, oh much easier. But your anxiety levels... You're just not that responsible. I mean, you know, I caught her [Marlowe], which is so much easier than pushing one out. I was there for the birth, [Eva] had a 36-hour home birth - it was like a Natural Geographic special of some sort," she joked.
She added that after having two of her children naturally, she realised she was "crazy" and turned to drugs to help ease the pain of the birth of son Miles.
