Amanda Seyfried "daydreams" about becoming a mother.

The 'In Time' actress says she can't wait to settle down and have children but says she's a long way off realising her dream because she's currently single.

She said: "I can't wait to have kids but I have to keep myself in check. I'm not having a baby any time soon. I don't even have a boyfriend, so it's not going to happen. But I love spending time with babies and daydreaming what it's going to be like for me."

While she would like children in the future, Amanda, 25, says she's content with being a mother to her dog.

She told Look magazine: "My dog Finn's my baby, I treat him like a child! I think this is easier for now."

The blonde beauty also revealed how she sometimes finds it hard to trust men.

Amanda - who has previously dated Dominic Cooper and Ryan Phillippe - said: "I'm a little suspicious of people - men - but I have good intuition."
