Rachel Weisz's father was Jewish and had fled to England from Nazi persecution. As a child, the actress was a real tomboy, which she is not ashamed to admit. In addition, until the age of 16, she studied poorly. However, a teacher of English literature was able to actually get her interested in the subject. As a result, Rachel got a bachelor's degree in English. Weisz also speaks German perfectly. While preparing for the role of twins in the film 'Constantine' Rachel spent a lot of time in the morgue. She earned the nickname "English Rose" after her performance in 'Stealing Beauty' (1996). Weisz not only makes movies, but also performs on stage. The screenplay for the historical film 'Agora' (2009) was written specifically for the actress. Rachel has a keen eye for fashion. Designer Narciso Rodriguez even proclaimed her his muse, appreciating her exquisite sense of style. Rachel Weisz worked with multiple fashion brands, starring in Bvlgari, L'Oreal, Burberry campaigns. Weisz is a patron of the College of Radiology Charitable Foundation. Ralph and Joseph Fiennes are her close friends.
