Rachel Weisz Says Family Comes First

Rachel Weisz puts her family before work.
The ‘Brothers Bloom’ actress insists on taking long breaks between movie projects so she can spend time with her fiance Darren Aronofsky, and their son Henry.

“I used to work back to back but now I do two projects a year and take a big break in between them.”

That is the ultimate benefit to being an actress the time you can spend with your family.

Rachel and ‘The Wrestler’ director are so focused on making their relationship work they only accept work in the same country as where the other is filming to minimize any disruption for Henry.

“I have to consider where I’m travelling to if Darren’s going to be working at the same time.
“I filmed ‘Agora’ in Malta for four months and Darren edited there. I started and he came out two weeks later with his editor. Before that we were both at home in New York, so we’ve managed to keep the family together and it works.”

My family is from Malta!! More and more movies are being made there because there are parts of the island that is so untouched by time.

Rachel recently said she loves the luxury of taking Henry to work with her – but has to be careful he doesn’t receive too much attention.

"The good thing is my son gets a big welcome on my film sets. If you work in an office or a factory, your kids can’t come visit you during the day. On films there’s a lot of down time so he’s with me a lot. The only problem is that everyone is spoiling him rotten."

LOL! I think that is a problem every parent can relate to.
