Rachel Weisz isn’t planning to move back to Britain following the collapse of her relationship with Darren Aronofsky. The British actress — who raises four-year-old son Henry with the Black Swan director — intends to stay put in New York. “Rachel is always getting asked when she’s moving back to Britain,” a source said. “After all, she still has a home in North London. But she’s remaining in New York because she wants her four-year-old son Henry to be close to his father. “They’re seeking joint custody – it’s an amicable split. They just went in different directions.” Recent reports claimed Weisz grew close to James Bond hunk Daniel Craig while they played husband and wife in forthcoming thriller Dream House. “Rachel and Daniel simply sparked during the filming of Dream House in Canada,” a source said. “They have great chemistry. Darren’s such a good and responsible man, but Daniel’s the opposite extreme, he’s brooding and mysterious. Darren and Rachel have simply grown apart, they spent long periods away from each other, moving in different directions.”

Rachel Weisz was a naughty girl! The actress has revealed she used to be a “bad student” until an inspirational teacher changed her life. “She was an English Literature teacher and I had a transformative experience being taught by her at 16,” Rachel said. “She believed in me when the other teachers didn’t. I went on to study English at university. I was a bad student until I met her and she inspired me. “When someone believes in you, you want to fulfill their beliefs.”

Rachel Weisz is being pursued for a role in the forthcoming Batman movie Dark Knight Rises.

According to Deadline.com, Rachel is among a number of Hollywood women wanted for the role, with Blake Lively, Natalie Portman and Anne Hathaway also possibilities. The movie – which does not yet have a lead villain – is expected to be shot entirely in IMAX and not 3-D as many had expected.
