Rachel Weisz thinks you don’t know where Europe is
Announcing that she is five months pregnant with director/fiancé Darren Aronofsky’s child, the London-born actress patted herself on the back for finding “a sophisticated, educated American…[who has] traveled the world [and] knows where Europe is, unlike a lot of Americans.”
Isn’t there some saying about throwing stones that applies here? Or something about biting the hands that bought enough movie tickets to make you the C-list celebrity you are?
Oh wait, I remember now: “People who are best known for screaming their way through big dumb movies like ‘The Mummy,’ ‘The Mummy Returns,’ and ‘Constantine’ shouldn’t be quite so quick to put on airs of superiority just because they were born in England.” Or something like that.
Anyway, it’s probably a safe bet that more Americans know where Europe is than know who Rachel Weisz is…
She could be our third It girl…
Constantine took the pipe, though. What a hunka poop.
I’m not sure why she felt the need to say that. Her statement, while technically true (she did say “a lot of Americans” not “a majority of Americans”), is obviously insulting, and can only serve to hinder her career.
I think she’s a good actress. She was solid in “About a Boy,” “Confidence” and especially “The Shape of Things,” but the clunkers your mentioned certainly put her in her own glass house.
You’re right, she was very good in “About a Boy,” and I hear she’s good in “The Constant Gardener” as well.
But her publicist should still think about buying her a muzzle.
Don’t forget “Chain Reaction,” kids. That’s even worse than those “Mummy” movies.
Maybe she’s planning a Phoebe Cates-style retirement that we don’t know about, and doesn’t care if she insults the casting directors. But couldn’t she have shown us her rack before riding off into the sunset, like Cates did?
According to mrskin.com, she did go topless in “Stealing Beauty” and even drops her bottoms in “I Want You.” Granted, neither movie has the notoriety of “Fast Times” but she did give it the ol’ Phoebe try.
I always liked Rachel…I’m trying to decide if this quote makes me like her more or less. I like my actresses a little kooky.
