Helena Bonham Carter recently
commented on whether or not she would head to the stage for work, citing that her children came first, and that her ideal acting partner would be former on-screen sister and
Harry Potter costar Helen McCrory.
Quote:
Helena Bonham Carter: “I would love to do some West End theatre but every night I would miss bedtime with the children.
“If I could do three days a week that would be great — and to be honest I have had some discussions about doing that. What would be ideal is if I could do some sort of job share. But then who do you job share with?
“My obvious choice would be Helen McCrory but then if you shared with her, she’s such a great actress she’d just make you look bad. People would be asking for a refund for the nights I was on.”
“I’m not doing anything at the minute. I’m taking some time off to spend with my children and I feel more clear-headed than I have in a long time. I’ve had time to spend with my family and I’m lucky enough to be at the stage in my career where I can take breaks. But I’m not totally unemployed — I have some work on the horizon for the end of the year so we won’t go hungry!”
Carter and McCrory both attended the
BBC Films' 25th Anniversary reception, where she commented up one her future plans. For now, Carter can be seen in Disney's
Cinderella, and will costar in the historic drama
Suffragette later this year.
