TITANIC actor Billy Zane is yearning to become a father - but has no plans to give up his bachelor lifestyle and settle down.

The star has been single since splitting from his fiancee, British model/actress Kelly Brook, last year (08), but he admits kids are on his mind - and he predicts parenthood will come sooner rather than later.

He tells BlogTalkRadio, "I’m single right now - and kind of loving it. I hear the patter of little feet.

"But I foresee that - I sense it, I feel it, I feel it coming. It’s just a sense that you get. I think I’m ready for fatherhood.

"But I’m not out there hunting for my bride - as of yet."
