Jessica Alba will be a 'fantastic mother,' says Dane Cook

Comedian/Actor Dane Cook has spoken out about his Good Luck Chuck co-star, Jessica Alba, and says she'll be a great mother.

Alba, 26, announced in December she is expecting a baby with long time boyfriend Cash Warren, 28.

On whether Jess will be a good mom, the actor, 35, had nothing but kind words for his former leading lady. "She’ll be fantastic. She’s so compassionate and very attentive," Dane tells America's OK! Magazine. "Some people you kind of feel like they’re meant for that, and she’s one of those people that just has those nurturing qualities."

Alba recently said that being pregnant is "awesome" - adding: "It's the best time ever."

The sexy Hollywood star - who joked on-stage about her "ass" and stomach getting bigger - could not help gushing about her new life with fiancé Cash Warren.

"It's awesome," she said. "It's the best time ever. I have two movies coming out, a baby, a fiancé - everything."
