Rachel Weisz Fan

Rachel Weisz loved starring in the historical drama film Agora – because it meant there was no technology around.

The Oscar-winning beauty says she gets fed up with having to check her Blackberry and mobile phone all the time.

“I would have enjoyed no email and no Blackberries,” Weisz explains. “Email is just becoming like an albatross around your neck. You could spend your life referring to emails and cell phones.

“We are always just in contact with each other. In that period with the quiet and time to reflect, everything moved at a much slower pace, and I find that very attractive. This isn’t real for me.”.

Agora, which also star British actor Max Minghella, hits movie theaters in December.

Meanwhile, Weisz, 39, has called for a ban on actors using Botox.

“Acting is all about expression; why would you want to iron out a frown?” Rachel said in a new interview with Harper’s Bazaar magazine.

“It should be banned for actors, as steroids are for sportsmen.”

Hollywood, CA (NewsBahn) – Oscar winning Rachel Weisz claims she isn’t famous enough to be followed by paparazzi in Hollywood, and only gets snapped by people looking for the ‘Valkyrie’ star, Tom Cruise, who lives close to her.

She explained to Britain’s Harper’s Bazaar magazine: “Sometimes the paparazzi, on the lookout for Tom Cruise who lives nearby, trickle onto my street, take a few pictures of me, and disappear. But I never feel hounded. I am really not on that level of fame. I go on the subway and I can walk my son Henry to school.

“I have never had a problem, except maybe briefly when I won the Oscar and gave birth to Henry in quick succession. Then suddenly everyone was interested. Having those lenses coming up towards you when you’re holding this little bundle in your arms is frightening.”

The British actress – who has a three-year-old son, Henry, with her partner of eight years, ‘The Wrestler’ director Darren Aronofsky – is about to return to her native country, where she will star in a new London West End production of ‘A Streetcar Named Desire’.

Rachel, 38, is thrilled about returning to the UK.

She said: “I love the way girls in London dress, it’s so different to the American ‘blow-dry and immaculate grooming’ thing. I am pretty much in a constant state of mourning for London when I’m not there. I miss a chat.”
