The baby keeping you up? New father Jamie Bell looks shattered as he nips out on a quick grocery run


From the bags under his eyes to the unkempt hair and messy clothes - Jamie Bell looks like a typical new father.

Having only just welcomed his first child with actress wife Evan Rachel Wood the 27-year-old is surely learning to survive on an interrupted night's sleep.

The Billy Elliot star certainly looked exhausted as he dashed to the supermarket in Santa Monica, California, on Tuesday.

With his hair looking rather shaggy and a sporting some facial hair with pale tired looking eyes Jamie looks like he could be struggling with getting only a few hours sleep per night.

Clutching a bottle of Gatorade and some sunscreen the young actor wore a white T-shirt, grey sweatpants and black sneakers for his dash to the store.

Wearing headphones around his neck and with round sunglasses to shield his eyes from the blistering sun, Jamie tucked his black jacket into his pants as he ran into the store before heading back home to his wife and baby boy.

It seems fatherhood is having an effect on Jamie, who tweeted this week: 'Before I got married, I had six theories about bringing up children; now, I have six children & no theories. - John Wilmot.'

Following the birth of their son Jamie also took to Twitter to congratulate his wife who he called his 'warrior'.

He wrote: 'Wow! What a day. Evan you are my warrior! You never cease to amaze. Thank you for birthing our son so naturally & peacefully. You did it!'

In turn she replied: 'And you are mine :) thank you for being there and helping me through it. I love you both more than words can say.'

The couple married back in October 2012, and announced that they were expecting their first child together in January earlier this year.

Rachel took to her Twitter during her pregnancy to update her fans on how she was getting along.

'How can you be so excited to see someone you have never even met?' she wrote on July 6.

The Wrestler star also jokingly tweeted: 'I can’t wait for my own Littlefoot to get here!' she wrote, including a link the film The Land Before Time.

'When a pregnant woman says she just ‘rolled’ out of bed, she is being very serious,' she posted a few days later.

Despite having a newborn at home the pair both have busy schedules as Evan currently has four films in pre-production while Jamie is currently starring in Snowpiercer alongside Chris Evans.

To promote the movie he recently tweeted: 'People of South Korea!!! Hope you’re enjoying Snowpiercer. If you haven’t seen it yet, get out there and support the great Bong Joon Ho!'
