In 2004, Weisz appeared in the comedy Envy. The film failed at the box office.[76]Variety opined that Weisz and co-star Amy Poehler "get fewer choice moments than they deserve."[77] Her next role was alongside Keanu Reeves in Constantine, based on the comic book Hellblazer.[78]Film Threat called her portrayal "effective at projecting scepticism and, eventually, dawning horror".[79]
In 2015, she appeared in drama film Youth and in science fiction film The Lobster. Lobster won the Cannes Jury Prize. In 2016, she appeared in the drama film The Light Between Oceans, and portrayed Holocaust historian Deborah Lipstadt in Denial, a film based on Lipstadt's book, and directed by Mick Jackson.
Weisz's production company, LC6 Productions, released its first feature film, Disobedience, in 2017, starring Weisz and Rachel McAdams.[115][116] Weisz grew up three London Underground stops away from the Orthodox Jewish neighborhood where the film is set. Raised within Judaism, Weisz never fully connected to her ancestral religion. She claims she was "really disobedient" herself and has never felt she fits in anywhere.[117]
In 2023, Weisz starred in and executive produced the Prime Video miniseries remake Dead Ringers, earning a nomination for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Miniseries or Television Film.[126] She later starred as the lead in the 2026 Netflix limited series Vladimir, an adaptation of Julia May Jonas’s novel.[127] Weisz has been cast in Tomas Alfredson’s upcoming drama Séance on a Wet Afternoon opposite Matthew Macfadyen and Joe Alwyn.[128] She has also been announced to reprise her role as Evelyn O’Connell in the fourth installment of the Mummy franchise, reuniting with Brendan Fraser and John Hannah; the film is being developed by Radio Silence Productions and is scheduled for release in 2028.[129]
Other activities
In 2006, Burberry's creative director Christopher Bailey chose Weisz for an advertising campaign photographed by Mario Testino;[130] she later did another campaign for the brand in 2023.[131] She was named L'Oréal's global ambassador in 2010.[132] In 2011, she fronted the advertising campaign for Bulgari's Jasmin Noir fragrance.[133]
Personal life
In 2001, Weisz began dating filmmaker and producer Darren Aronofsky. They met backstage at London's Almeida Theatre, where she was starring in The Shape of Things. Weisz moved to New York City with Aronofsky the following year;[69] in 2005, they were engaged. Their son was born in May 2006 in New York City.[134][135] The couple resided in the East Village in Manhattan. MohelPhilip Sherman performed their son's brit milah (bris).[136] In November 2010, Weisz and Aronofsky announced that they had been apart for months but remained close friends and were committed to bringing up their son together in New York.[137]
Weisz and the English actor Daniel Craig were friends for many years and worked together on the 2011 film Dream House. They began dating in December 2010 and married on 22 June 2011 in a private New York ceremony, with four guests in attendance, including Weisz's son and Craig's daughter.[138] On 1 September 2018, it was reported that they had their first child together, a daughter, completing their family of 5.[139]
↑There are conflicting sources for the year of Weisz' birth. The database entry of the British Film Institute, citing London birth records gives a year of 1970,[3] as does the Encyclopædia Britannica[4] and the National Portrait Gallery.[5] However, some older sources give it as 1971, including her detailed biography at the British Film Institute[6] and a biographic article in The Guardian.[7] The Evening Standard in 2006 claimed that Weisz herself gave 1971 as her year of birth.[8]
