Anna Faris: My Husband Wants Us to Have a 'Big Family'

Anna Faris and Chris Pratt are focusing on their careers for now, but when the time comes to have kids, the married actors will probably have more than a few.

"We would love to have kids someday," the What's Your Number star, 34, told PEOPLE recently as her husband, who plays Andy on Parks and Recreation, 32, stood at her side and nodded in agreement.

"We want a family for sure. Chris wants a big family."

Even though Faris says her and Pratt's desire to have kids is "mutual," it isn't really possible at the moment.

"It's timing," she says. "It's so hard in this industry."

Tesla Model S "Will Be Faster Than A Porsche 911"

Five years after debuting the original electric 2-seat Roadster, Tesla shows customers its first all-new car: the $50,000, 7-passenger Model S।

Five years after debuting the original electric 2-seat Roadster, Tesla shows customers its first all-new car: the $50,000, 7-passenger Model S.

The crowd, naturally, went wild. Hundreds of deposit-paying customers had already taken quick rides around the parking lot at speeds over 70 mph when Musk drove a red pre-production Tesla Model S show car — albeit somewhat less quickly — up the ramp and onto a stage inside Tesla's U.S. factory (formerly known as NUMMI, the facility Tesla purchased from Toyota just last year and revamped for a fraction of what a new car factory normally costs to build). Production versions of the Model S will start rolling out of here in mid-2012.

"The oil companies said electric cars can't work, but the truth is, they don't want them to work," Musk said.

"But here it is," he continued. "They would say this car is the equivalent of a unicorn. Well, tonight you had the opportunity to ride a unicorn."

After driving the Model S onto the stage, Musk exited his seven-passenger sedan along with seven other occupants (and their luggage), three from decidedly unconventional spaces: two children climbed out of optional rear-facing bucket seats and through the rear hatch, and a surprising eighth guy popped out from beneath the hood carrying a backpack।
