Swedish movie star Malin Akerman is eager to follow in the footsteps of Angelina Jolie and Madonna and adopt a child from Africa.

The Watchmen star is waiting for the right time to take a break from show business and start a family with her husband of two years, Robert Zincone, and she reveals she wants the couple to raise biological as well as adopted kids.

Akerman, who is also the frontwoman of band The Petalstones, explains, "We're waiting a year or two. Before I started acting, I was at college studying to be a child psychologist - I have an infinite love for kids."

"I'd like biological children but would love to adopt, especially after going to Africa. There are so many orphans - why wouldn't you help?"
