Rachel Weisz has become a mummy - June 2, 2020
’The Mummy’ star Rachel Weisz has become a mummy. The British actress - who won an Oscar earlier this year (06) for her supporting role in ’The Constant Gardener’ - gave birth to her son in New York.

The boy is the first child for Weisz and her fiance, ’Requiem For A Dream’ director Darren Aronofsky. Despite becoming a mum in the same year as winning an Academy Award, Weisz ruled out naming her first born after the gong. At the ceremony in March, she said: "We’ve narrowed it down to a few choices but Oscar isn’t among them."

In January, the 35-year-old actress - who started her career at the ADC Theatre in Cambridge, while studying at university in the city - revealed she was expecting after finding her ideal man. She told ’The Tonight Show’ host Jay Leno: "I found myself a sophisticated, educated American. He’s not an actor. "He’s travelled the world. He knows where Europe is, unlike a lot of Americans. He’s very cultured, but he’s all man."

Meanwhile, Weisz recently revealed that she didn’t develop cravings for bizarre foods during her pregnancy - despite being prepared to eat weird foods. She confessed: "I was expecting all the weird things. There’s this jar of pickles sitting in the fridge. It’s been there for months and she hasn’t even eaten one."

She said: "I’m British. I grew up with Burberry being the ultimate brand in chic, elegance and history. My granny, the chicest lady I ever knew, had a Burberry raincoat. Now it’s a cool and edgy fashion house, too. "I was thrilled to be asked to model. There was no hesitation."

Weisz, who looked radiant in a sleek black Narciso Rodriguez gown at the Oscars, admits she would also love to model the British fashion house’s clothes range. The 35-year-old beauty added in an interview with the Associated Press: "I love beautiful things and beautiful fashion. I like clothes that are beautifully cut that aren’t too fussy."
