Paul Bettany Talks About Childhood Memories
Paul Bettany, who stars in the new movie, Legion, where he is in angel, and he’s also in the movie Creation, where he plays a controversial scientist. Parade magazine had a chance to catch up with him and ask him about facing the end of the world and childhood memories. Here are the highlights:
On facing the end of the world: “I think about the apocalypse all the time in terms of the environment and in terms of the wars we’re waging. I think about it a lot, and it’s frightening what life is going to be like in 2055 for my children if we don’t cut down on our fossil fuels. I think it’s an ongoing fear and fantasy for people, so I don’t think it’s ever gone away. And maybe that’s why we’re suddenly seeing so many post-apocalyptic movies.”
On how his son prefers a good book: “Actually, reading to both my kids has always been important. My wife, Jennifer, and I read to them every night. It’s the most delicious time of the day when your child is all sleepy and cuddly and they get to snuggle up and you read them a bedtime story. It’s the bit of parenting that makes up for when they’re screaming and shouting at you.”
On his childhood memories: “My dad made a lot of stories up at bedtime. He would create these wild stories about this elephant. As I got older, I remember him reading Lord of the Rings. My strongest memory was the moment when you think Frodo is dead and I forced him to read about 250 more pages until you realized he was okay.”
