November 17, American actress Rachel McAdams celebrates anniversary. It is hard to imagine what she wishes for herself on this holiday ... Everything she dreamed of, on her 40th birthday, practically fulfilled: built a career, met a beloved man and gave birth to a son. It remains only to get an Oscar. However, she also has a nomination for a film award..

4 years old was Rachel, when she first took to the skates and began to learn figure skating. After several years of hard work, the girl pursues a sports career, but everything turned out differently..

- Years 12 it dawned on me: I want to play. I then began to attend the children's theater in the summer camp: I played the fairy in the play “A Midsummer Night's Dream”, then Clytemnestru in the tragedy “Agamemnon” Aeschylus. After a couple of such speeches with the applause of children and educators, I felt a taste of fame and, of course, I wanted to be popular, says McAdams.

However, the years of training on the ice were not wasted - Rachel is confident that the sport has perfectly prepared her for the shooting and today helps to stay in shape.

$ 5 million - such a fee was received by the actress for the role of the insidious but in love Irene Adler in the Guy Ritchie film “Sherlock Holmes”. Could a girl from a small Canadian town dream about such money? Father drove a truck, mother worked as a nurse, but they were not able to pay for their daughter's acting education. Therefore, Rachel stood behind the counter at McDonalds for three years in a row to earn her university tuition.. However, she is not offended by her parents, because they have given much more than money - their love and support.

- I had a wonderful childhood! - the actress shares. - I remember how for the holidays, as a family, with my brother and sister, we loaded into the car and went to rest in Florida, although there from Canada we spent three whole days. We weren't very rich, but I didn't even think about it.. There was always food on the table, and I bought new skates without question.. And more was not needed.

8 hours in a row wept together with Rachel McAdams and Benedict Cumberbatch on the set of the film "Doctor Strange". In a superhero blockbuster, the actress played the main character's girlfriend, as embodied by her British counterpart. For McAdams to play in the film universe of Marvel was a cherished dream:.

- Marvel - the best of the best, they release several box office hits a year, now it’s hard to name a more profitable studio. And if you become part of this team, then you just got a lucky ticket.. In addition, in my case there is another bonus: in “Doctor Strange” I played along with Benedict Cumberbatch himself!.

Rachel had complete mutual understanding with him..

“Benedict is a terrific actor,” says McAdams.. - When he began to cry or worry, I immediately burst into tears myself. Once we roared for 8 hours in a row - on every duplicate. It is impossible not to respond to his emotionality.. In general, by the end of the shift, we often wept with hellish headache and dehydration..

Rumor has it that the producers are planning to remove the sequel to "Doctor Strange", which means that McAdams will again have the opportunity to join the Marvel and ... enough to cry with Cumberbatch.

54 kg - the weight of a miniature actress with a height of 163 cm. She maintains ideal form thanks to vegetarianism, healthy eating, yoga and regular cycling.. And always looking her fresh and young on the covers and social events helps her sister Keylin.. She is a professional makeup artist, and only Rachel trusts her to conjure over her face..

2 times Rachel tried to build a relationship with Ryan Gosling, but to no avail. It is strange how they managed to live for 2 years together and, after breaking up, to take another unsuccessful attempt to reunite ... McAdams and Gosling met on the set of the film “Diary of Memory”. And, as director Nick Cassavetes recalled, they did not immediately get along. At the site, they convincingly portrayed the faithful lovers, and behind the scenes made noisy showdowns. Often, after the exclamation "shot! "Angry screams were heard or scandals flared up. And after finishing the work on the project, the sworn enemies suddenly turned into a tender couple ... But, apparently, the former contradictions did not allow them to reconcile finally.

Other Rachel boyfriends are also actors: Josh Lucas, Michael Sheen, James Franco.

- All my relations really arose during the filming of a movie, - the actress admits. - There is nothing surprising. If the work takes most of the time, as in my case, then the chances of meeting an interesting person outside the set are minimal.. Nevertheless, I try to distinguish between professional and personal life..

With screenwriter Jamie Linden fate brought Rachel, of course, also at work. But this relationship developed in an unusual scenario for the actress.. McAdams decided to give birth to a child from Linden. And proved to be a conspiracy genius!.

April 10, 2018 the actress first became a mother. However, the press learned that McAdams was on the run, just three months before the joyful event. About the birth of the boy tabloids also visited with a delay. And only after 5 months, the paparazzi caught Rachel walking with the baby.. And so far nobody has managed to find out the name of her son ....
