Rachel Weisz isn’t “noble” in any way, so would never die for her job. The actress plays Hypatia in her movie Agora, which was recently released in America. The film is a historical drama set in Egypt, and Rachel’s character was interested in learning about astronomy and mathematics. The actress was attracted to the part because it is so different to what she’s done before. “It seemed very unusual and daring and out of my comfort zone, so I thought, why not?” she explained. “She’s willing to die for what she believes in, which I’m not – at all. I’m not noble in any way. The way I figured out I could identify with her is that I’m very, very, very passionate about my work, and so is she. But I also managed to have a relationship and be a mum. I don’t think she had those options open to her.” Rachel prides herself on being down to earth, and not allowing her job to dictate how she lives her life. She is engaged to filmmaker Darren Aronofsky, and they have four-year-old son Henry together. The star makes sure she spends as much time as possible with her family – they travelled with her when she shot Agora in Malta. Rachel rejects other star’s claims that it’s impossible to have a private life when you’re famous, saying she manages just fine. “It’s all a load of rubbish,” she told the USA Today newspaper. “There’s a few people on the planet for whom it is an issue, but people are not going to attack you. They’re respectful.”
