Rachel Weisz has discussed the ease of having a life away from the eyes of the public.

The Oscar-winning actor lives in Brooklyn, New York with husband Daniel Craig and their children.

Despite being an A-list pairing, neither party engages often with media outside of promotional duties relating to their projects.

In a new interview, Weisz shared her feelings of apathy towards being a famous figure, and how easy she finds it is to keep her personal life private.

“Celebrity – it really doesn’t mean anything to me,” she told The Guardian.

“And it’s no work at all to keep not showing up at events. It’s no work at all, to keep a private life. Life can be demanding, life in a family can be complicated but I don’t even know what ‘celebrity’ means. I don’t think of myself like that.”

Weisz has a teenage son with director Darren Aronofsky, as well as a four-year-old daughter with Craig.

Elsewhere in the interview, published on Sunday (16 April), Weisz, 53, was asked whether she experienced any negative response after having a child at age 48.

The actor seemed to have been unaware of any commentary on her motherhood choices.

“Perhaps it’s just that we were very, very tired. Maybe I didn’t notice what was going on,” she said, adding: “You go into a bubble when you have a newborn, don’t you?”

In 2020, she said that being a mother at a later age was a more tiring experience than before.

Weisz will soon star in a double role as identical twins in Dead Ringers – a series adaptation of the 1988 film of the same name by David Cronenberg.

Dead Ringers begins on Amazon Prime Video on Friday 21 April.
