Jennifer Connelly Archives

Co-stars Jennifer Connelly and Djimon Hounsou attend a press conference promoting their latest film Blood Diamond in Tokyo, Japan on Wednesday.

The pair was accompanied by director Edward Zwick.

Blood Diamond opens in Japan on Friday, April 7.

Jennifer, 36, is wearing the very popular pair of sky-high shoes — Miu Miu Vernice Chic Mary Janes.

The much-anticipated film Reservation Road starring Jennifer Connelly opens nationwide on Nov. 9 and co-stars Joaquin Phoenix, Mark Ruffalo, Mira Sorvino, and Elle Fanning.

Sarah Jessica Parker (sans Matthew Broderick), Jennifer Connelly and hubby Paul Bettany were among the many big name celebrities to check out Vanity Fair supremo Graydon Carter’s restaurant Waverly Inn in NYC’s West Village on Wednesday night.

The New York Observer calls Waverly Inn the “latest clubhouse to the rich and famous… a fashionable, exclusive, clublike restaurant.”

And according to Page Six, Interview editor Ingrid Sischy dined with Calvin Klein, who was seated at the table next to Ralph Lauren.

Said P6’s insider, “Ralph walked right up to Calvin and shook his hand.”

Co-stars Jennifer Connelly, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Djimon Hounsou arrived yesterday night for the European premiere of their film Blood Diamond in Odeon Leicester Square, London. Blood Diamond opens this Friday in the UK.

Is Jennifer Connelly rocking the leggings and black jumpsuit with belted waist and pockets? It completely works for me! But most importantly, do you think Jen’s still pregnant? Remember this? And this?

Jennifer Connelly is the face of Marie Claire for January 2007. The model-turned-actress is still filming her next movie, Reservation Road, alongside actor Joaquin Phoenix, Mark Ruffalo, and Mira Sorvino. I just love these photos of her from Marie Claire. Do take some time out and view them.

Reservation Road is about two families (Learner and Arno) that become intertwined when the father from one kills the son of the other in a hit-and-run accident. The film is directed by Terry George (Hotel Rwanda). The movie is set to be released on November 9, 2007.

If you missed it, see her also in Interview magazine, or check out the production shots of her on the set of Reservation Road.

Jennifer Connelly seemed to have tucked away her possible baby bump for the Hollywood premiere of her new film Blood Diamond at Grauman’s Chinese Theater last night. Blood Diamond co-starsLeonardo DiCaprio and Djimon Hounsou and was directed by Edward Zwick, who was also on hand. Everybody still thinks Jennifer’s pregnant or is her baby bump hiding behind her belt?

The family that dresses together, stays together!

Jennifer Connelly hubby Paul Bettany, and 3-year-old son Stellan Bettany dressed in their matching hooded bubble coats and ran a few errands together this past Sunday. The Bettanys did their grocery shopping at Union Market located at 754-756 Union Street (Corner of 6th Ave and Park Slope).

Jennifer, who is rumored to be pregnant again, has a new movie, Blood Diamond, coming out this Friday co-starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Djimon Hounsou.

They may have put her in a cage, but here’s an actress who won’t be tamed. It took years for Jennifer Connelly to teach the world that she was a serious actress. And, as she discovered while working in Africa on her latest film, it took acting for her to learn some serious lessons about the world. She takes the Dec 2006/Jan 2007 issue of Interview Magazine.

So Jennifer, where are you? Are you in the middle of a film? Yes. I’m in the middle of working on Reservation Road, which we’ve been shooting in Stamford, Connecticut. But right now, it being Sunday, I’m in Vermont, with the family. I’ve been working nights and finished on Saturday morning and the kids slept in the trailer at work. As soon as I wrapped, we piled them in the car, in their pajamas, and came up here in the middle of the night.

Was that your last day of filming, or was it just the end of the week? No, it was just the end of the week. I’m due back at 4:45 in the morning tomorrow. We’re back to working days.

Boy, easy life, huh? [laughs] I don’t want to make it sound like, “Woe is me, isn’t this horrible?” It’s a fabulous life.

How many kids do you have now? Still just the two.

How old is the youngest one? Stellan is three.

The last time I “officially” saw him you were breast feeding him at the cover shoot we did together for our February 2004 issue. Yep. He’s moved on from those days. Now he’s running around from one really horrible store-bought superhero costume to another. You never know. Power Rangers. Batman. Spider-Man. It’s amazing that with such little exposure to these characters, they still really take hold of kids’ imaginations.

Well HELLO baby bump!! It seems that Jennifer Connelly is expecting once again! At least three months along from the look of things. These pictures were taken last night at a special screening of her new film, Blood Diamond, at NYC’s Museum of Modern Art. Blood Diamond co-stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Djimon Hounsou.

Jen arrived with hubby Paul Bettany (both 35), who seemed to be rubbing her tummy. Proud parents of yet another child, perhaps? If so, congrats to them both. I love Paul and Jen to bits!! Thanks Stacey for the tip!!

Paul and Jennifer share a 3-year-old son, Stellan Bettany. They also have a 9-year-old son Kai Dugan, from Jen’s previous relationship with photographer David Dugan.

Jennifer Connelly shared two very funny and heartwarming stories during yesterday’s taping of The Late Show with David Letterman. For those of you who can’t watch the video above, here are the two stories:

MY DADDY THE SITH LORD: Paul and Stellan almost spent last night in a French prison. Jen shared that the father-son pair were in Nice on their way home when they were stopped at passport control. Stellan has an American passport while Paul has a British one. Stellan’s photo was taken when he was a week old, he’s three now, so he’s completely unrecognizable. Stellan exchanges words with the passport officer:

Stellan: I’M LUKE!
Passport Officer #1: Excuse me?
Stellan: I’M LUKE!

Passport Officer calls over another officer.

Passport Officer #2: [points to Paul] Who is this person? Is that your father?
Stellan: No, that’s not my daddy.

Passport Officer calls police over.

Police: Who is this man? What is this man’s name?
Stellan: That’s Darth Vader.
Police: Where do you live?
Stellan: Return of the Fick.

Haha! Stellan’s way of saying Revenge of the Sith, apparently. “And it so happened that those were the only three people in the world who hasn’t seen Star Wars,” Jen joked. “So this went on for a little while until someone finally figured it out and went [imitates Darth Vader's breathing].” They even confiscated Stellan’s plastic light saber as well! Poor kid. They’re both safe and back home in Brooklyn now, Jen happily reported.

BABOONS GONE WILD :: The Blood Diamond was filmed in South Africa and Mozambique, so Paul, Jen, and Stellan went on a safari one time. They stayed at a hotel that was all glass overlooking the wilderness. After returning from a dip in the pool and not having locked their glass-sliding door, they experienced their first wildlife experience in the apartment. (Jen and Paul have argued over who actually left the door unlocked.)

Jen shared, “I found a 5-foot-tall baboon on the bed eating a chocolate bar (it was a Mars bar) and his buddy was bouncing up and down on the couch. Another guy’s swinging from the curtains.” Luckily the park rangers handled the situation after Jen ran away screaming…

And without naming names, Jen even compared the behavior of actors to baboons: “They had completely drained the mini bar. Literally. They had just trashed the room entirely. As it turns out baboons are kind of at the same evolutionary stage as a lot of actors. Drained mini bar. Footprints on the wall. It’s nuts!” You can read Paul’s uncensored version of the story here.
