Jennifer Connelly says her husband, actor Paul Bettany, takes cheese with him everywhere he goes. Paul Bettany is addicted to cheese. The Creation star’s wife Jennifer Connelly – who he raises two children with – says that although the actor has finally given up smoking, she has failed to dissuade him from taking his favourite dairy food everywhere. She told Britain’s InStyle magazine: “When we met he smoked a lot and ate a lot of cheese. “He still eats a lot of cheese. It’s usually somewhere in his backpack. But he quit smoking.

She explained: “I’ve gotten less introverted and earnest since Paul and I have been together. “Paul tore me apart from my earnestness.
