ECKHART UNDER MEDIA PRESSURE TO FIND LOVE

THE DARK KNIGHT star AARON ECKHART is feeling the pressure to find a girlfriend and settle down - because reporters always quiz him about his love life when he's promoting a new movie.

The actor is currently starring in romantic comedy Love Happens with Jennifer Aniston and he's been bombarded with questions about when he'll get married and start a family - even though he's still single.

Eckhart, who was previously engaged to actress Emily Cline, admits the constant speculation is starting to annoy him - because not even his mother pressures him as much as the media.

He says, "You know who I'm getting pressure from? The press! When you're promoting a new movie they want to know a) have you slept with your co-star, which I have not, and b) why are you so old and never been married?! And they're getting down my root (on his nerves) about it.

"I think that once you get over the age of 40 people start to ask questions. When you're younger and single, it's cool. Now it's dirty."

However, the star is convinced he knows what the problem is - he's too mature.

He adds, "I'm a very serious person, too serious I've been told. I like to joke around sometimes but not a lot. When you're past 40 man, it's all over.

"I would like to settle down and have children one day. (But) I don't just wanna jump into it."

But Eckhart is not adverse to dating a woman much younger than his 41 years - as long as they have the same interests: "I don't see anything wrong with that. I think it's all about maturity."
