Seth Rogen isn't ready to have kids yet as he and wife Lauren are happy caring for their dog.

Seth Rogen doesn't want kids yet - because he has a dog.

The 29-year-old actor - who married longterm girlfriend Lauren Miler in October - insists he isn't ready to start a family yet but he and his spouse are content showering their affections on their pet pooch instead.

Asked if he is ready to have children, he said: "No. We have a dog. That's good for now."

The '50/50' star is very happy with Lauren, but doesn't think marriage has made much difference to their lives - except he no longer feels he is "disappointing" his spouse.

He explained to People.com: "Life is good. I'm pretty happy right now. Married life is exactly like non-married life, except you're not constantly having the feeling that you're disappointing your significant other by not marrying them."

Thinks are also looking good professionally for Seth, whose latest movie '50/50' - which he also produced - nominated for Best Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical at the forthcoming Golden Globe Awards.

The funnyman admits the nomination was "really surprising and nice", but he insists he has never set out to create award-winning work.

He said: "It's really surprising and really nice.

"I make movies for people to see them. I don't talk about them getting nominated for awards, nor do I expect it.

"If I tied my happiness with getting nominated for awards, I would have been pretty miserable up until now."
