Excerpt
With views looking on to the Empire State Building, the apartment has two floors and a huge roof terrace. In many ways it could be described as a family home - and Gerard is keen to have kids of his own in it. He said: 'I'm getting broody - I'm broody and brooding.
'I recently visited Indonesia and I was on the beach watching all these families. Indonesian babies are the most beautiful in the world and they're all so friendly. That made me think 'wouldn't it be great?' 'I have been caught up in the whirlwind of this business too much to give enough time to all that, but I'd love to have a family.'
Before starting a family, he has the small problem of finding a girlfriend - something he claims he is still too busy for.
He said: 'I just don't have a proper girlfriend. I'm too busy with work. I'm not too busy for girls, just too busy for commitment.'
In many ways, Gerard feels he's been forced to sacrifice personal happiness for career advancement. But he remains philosophical about the drawbacks of his showbiz life.
He said: 'Maybe you can't have it all, or maybe I don't know how to have everything.
'This is a hard business to be in, and you see that borne out with failed relationship after relationship where you thought, 'Well, this is the one that'll survive', and it doesn't.
