About Rachel Weisz
Rachel Weisz is a perennial red carpet beauty with the intelligence and the laid-back demeanor to demonstrate that you can play the dual roles of smart girl and stunner. She has garnered the admiration of both fans and reviewers. Rachel has built a career that would make starlets envious, despite her start in a corny action franchise. Additionally, this Hollywood nice girl wasn’t always so prim and proper, much like the change in her professional life.
This British beauty first drew our notice in The Mummy and then Oscar’s attention in The Constant Gardener as a tragic young activist.
Problems, Problems
Rachel Weisz was raised in London along with her younger sister. Her parents are George, who created a life-saving breathing equipment, and Edith, a psychiatrist. However, Rachel wasn’t always the polished actress we see on the big screen and at red carpet events.
Rachel was a handful when she was younger and switched schools frequently as a result of her pranks.
Her mother, who had long wanted to be an actress, started living vicariously through her daughter when she sent images of Rachel to modeling agencies and assisted in getting her a part in Richard Gere‘s King David. She understood that Rachel’s individuality could not be contained inside the box.
But Rachel declined the role because she didn’t want her classmates to make fun of her for her early accomplishment.
Mummified
As she continued her academic concentration, Rachel enrolled at Cambridge University, where she founded the theater group Talking Tongues. For their rendition of Washbag by Neville Shouthall, the group won praise.
Rachel continued to perform in theater musicals and even went on to win the London Critic’s Circle award for Most Promising Newcomer.
Prior to appearing in Stealing Beauty (1996) and Bent (1996), Rachel made her on-screen debut in Chain Reaction (1996) with Keanu Reeves and Morgan Freeman (1997).
However, Rachel’s big break came when Brendan Fraser cast her as the leading lady in the 1999 action/adventure smash The Mummy.
Following the commercial success of the first The Mummy, Rachel appeared in The Mummy Returns (2001) before acting alongside Hugh Grant in About a Boy the following year. When she signed on for The Constant Gardener in 2005, she was starting to establish a reputation as a serious performer.
For her portrayal of a tenacious, fervent, and tragic human rights activist, Rachel was honored with both an Academy Award and a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress.
Happening Upon a Co-Star
But in addition to putting the actress at the head of every line in Hollywood, her successful film career also allowed her to meet director Darren Aronofsky. When Rachel appeared in the London production of The Shape of Things in 2001, she met Darren backstage and the two hit it off right away.
Before being married in 2005, they were engaged for four years. In the spring of 2006, Henry Chance, their first child, was born. Unfortunately, the pair decided to call it quits on their relationship in 2010, without making it to the altar.
Rachel is still on a major upswing as an actress, Oscar winner, mother, and mega-star, as seen by her speedy reconciliation with British hunk Daniel Craig. Fans will undoubtedly see a lot more of Rachel in the years to come because of the abundance of jobs she has received in recent years.
“In real life, I’m polite and nice all the time. It’s fun to play people who aren’t. It’s escapism.”
