Rachel Weisz leads an “ordinary life”. The Oscar-winning actress, who has three-year-old son Henry with director fiancee Darren Aronofsky, admits her home life is ordinary despite being in a showbiz relationship. She said: “Of course, it’s not ordinary to get dressed in frocks to walk down red carpets and travel all over the world and stay in five-star hotels. “I’m not working in a factory. But I drop Henry off at school, I pick him up. I try my hardest to keep everyone together. “I am interested in playing extra-ordinary women, but I have an ordinary life.” The 40-year-old Brit also admits she loves acting because there is always a new project for her to get involved in. She told Culture magazine: “That’s the great thing about acting. I can never imagine being satiated. It’s just like some math problem to figure out. I’m just getting started.”

Rachel Weisz has claimed that director Alejandro Amenabar rejected her idea to show the “deviancy” of her character in Agora. The Constant Gardner actress plays real-life fourth-century Egyptian philosopher Hypatia of Alexandria in the Spanish historical drama. Weisz told The Sunday Times: “There’s a style of acting that can come with period films where everybody just freezes up. “But they were drinking and f**king and doing maths or whatever else they were doing. They were just people.” She added: “I actually told Alejandro they should shoot a scene where she was looking at the stars and masturbating. “I suggested a PG version, where her hand just went out of frame, and you’re watching her come, looking at the stars. “He wouldn’t go for it. I begged him. I wanted to know about that stuff. What’s up? What’s her sexuality? Where’s her deviancy?”

In fact, they’re considering Weisz to play the head of Quantum, the secret organization responsible for all the bad guy activity in the last two films. More than just another Bond babe, she’d be the mastermind pulling the strings behind everything that’s happened in Daniel Craig’s Bond movies so far, and the architect of James Bond’s suffering.

Kate Winslet is reportedly angry that Sam Mendes is in touch with his ex-girlfriend Rachel Weisz. Winslet and Mendes announced their split earlier this year. However, the Daily Mail claims that Mendes, who is thought to be lined up to direct the next James Bond movie, has contacted Weisz to ask if she wants a role in the film. “As soon as Kate and Sam split, he was on the phone asking Rachel if she was interested in doing the movie,” a source said. “Rachel has always been persona non grata in the Winslet-Mendes household and Kate went ballistic when she heard that Sam wanted to hire her. “Sam has wanted to work with Rachel for ages, but Kate would not allow it. Although they ran in the same Hollywood circles, they avoided each other.” Weisz recently admitted that she would love a role in the new James Bond film.

Rachel Weisz is apparently being considered for the role of a Bond villain. The makers of new James Bond film, which has a working title of Bond 23, are discussing offering the Oscar-winning actress the role of a baddie, according to Cinema Blend. The 40-year-old actress is currently filming Dream House with Bond star Daniel Craig and said recently: “I’ve been filming with Daniel in Toronto – we’ve been getting on really well and yet I still haven’t had an offer to be a Bond girl, but if he asks me, I’d definitely do it.” The new Bond movie is being directed by Sam Mendes, who Rachel has had a relationship with in the past.
