Rachel Weisz became an actress to find out more about people. The Agora star – who studied English at the prestigious Cambridge University – admits one of her favourite things about her profession is the research she carries out into her characters. She said: “I liked acting because I love to ask people questions. “I like knowing about people and trying to imagine myself in other people’s shoes and other people’s skins. I do that all the time.” Rachel, 40, also spoke about her marriage to The Wrestler director Darren Aronofsky – with who she has three-year-old son Henry – insisting the 41-year-old filmmaker is nothing like people expect from the subject matter of his movies. She explained: “Seeing his films, you’d think he is this weird, dark, intense guy. But I don’t live with a dark person. He’s really good at life, very good at going to the park and having a good time. “He’s also very organised. He doesn’t live in chaos. His parents are teachers and they have an easy sense of order and discipline.”
