The Shrek actor – who has an 11-year-old daughter Stella and stepchildren Alexander, 23, and 18-year-old Dakota with wife Melanie Griffith – has advised the couple to make sure they are prepared for the impending arrivals.

He said: “I would just tell them, ‘Try your best, man’, because when the kids come to the house, they become the kids and you are not anymore!’ ”

Antonio – who co-starred with Brad in Interview with the Vampire in 1994 and Angelina in Original Sin in 2001 – also said the couple are “very happy”.

Speaking at the launch of his new fragrance Blue Seduction For Women, Antonio said: “I know both of them, they are my friends. They are very happy together.”

Meanwhile, Antonio – who was nominated for a prestigious Tony award for his role in musical Nine – recently revealed he is planning a return to New York’s famous Broadway theatre district.

He said: “I am working with David Leveaux, who was the director of Nine, on that possibility. It will be Don Giovanni.”
