Arterton wants to be Weisz

Despite a glittering film career of her own, the 24-year-old actress Gemma Arterton is in awe of her fellow British beauty Rachel Weisz and would love to be able to balance a film career and family life like her.

She said: “I’d really like the type of career Rachel Weisz has. I have a lot of respect for her, brilliant, talented, intelligent, a witty sort of woman. You know, she’ll do a rom-com – not that I ever want to do a rom-com – but then she’ll go off and do ‘The Constant Gardener’, have a family and live quite a normal life, it seems. I respect that.”
