Jennifer Connelly to quit acting?
Filed Under (News & Gossip) by admin on 24-10-2009
Jennifer Connelly may never work again. The A Beautiful Mind actress – who raises sons Kai, 12, and Stellan, six, with husband Paul Bettany – admits she has no projects lined up for when she finishes filming What’s Wrong With Virginia?. She said: ‘The biggest thing for me is wanting my kids to grow up safely and have happy lives. To me that’s enough. ‘The family is the most important thing to me. I’m very blessed. I have gorgeous, healthy, funny kids and a good husband. ‘Becoming a mother has made all the difference in terms of learning to take responsibility for my life. Parenthood changed the way I do everything.’ While both Jennifer and Paul have carved out successful acting careers, neither Kai – whose father is photographer David Dugan – nor Stellan want to follow in their footsteps. She added to Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper: ‘Stellan was saying for a while that he want to be an actor. ‘But we just went on holiday where we did a lot of snorkelling and now he’s saying he wants to be a marine biologist. Weirdly, at exactly the same age, Kai said he wanted to be a marine biologist too.’
Having taken time out after a family bereavement, Jennifer Connelly is back in animated drama 9

Having rediscovered happiness, Jennifer Connelly has returned to work after what she describes as a difficult time in her life. “I lost my dad who I was very close to and who lived with us,” says Jennifer, who voices a character in the new animated movie 9. “So I went through a really hard time at the end of last year.” The 38-year-old actress, who is married to British actor Paul Bettany, took most of this year off to spend time with her family and regain her zest for life. “I’ve been trying to be very healthy, eat well and get lots of fresh air and sunshine,” she says. “I’ve had a long time just hanging out at home looking after my kids and being with Paul. We’ve had the whole summer off so I’ve had lots of time in the mountains, hiking in the woods, swimming and relaxing.” In 9, Jennifer voices the character called 7, a brave, self-sufficient warrior. The movie is set in a post-apocalyptic world in which numbered rag dolls must battle killing machines in order to stay alive. “I think audiences have become more and more familiar with a different kind of animated film over the years, so I don’t think this will be a shock,” says Jennifer. “But it’s certainly not Lady And The Tramp. It’s not for kids.” Thanks to Mirror.co.uk for this find!

Back in September, Jennifer and Paul were seen in Toronto to promote their new movie Creation. On September 10, Jennifer looked red hot in Bottega Veneta at the Gala Presentation of Creation at the Roy Thomson Hall in Toronto, Canada. She finished off her look with YSL shoes and Bottega Veneta bag. One day later, on September 11, Jennifer and Paul spoke at the Creation press conference held at the Sutton Place Hotel in Toronto, Canada. She wore a “Diablo” long sleeve cocktail dress in chalk/black by RM by Roland Mouret. How is it possible for one woman to be so gorgeous?! Sorry for the delay and thanks to JustJared for the infos!
