Kate Winslet is moving her children Joe and Mia back to the UK while her estranged husband Sam Mendes films the new James Bond movie.
The Oscar-winning actress – who announced she was
splitting from the director in March 2010 - thinks it wouldn’t be
“fair” to deprive him of seeing his seven-year-old son and 10-year-old
stepdaughter from a previous relationship and will take them to London
so he isn’t far from them.
Kate – who currently lives in New York City - said: “Sam is doing the
next Bond film, all being well, and we’ll all be in England if that
happens.
“It’s such a massive commitment for him and it’s not fair for him to
commute backwards and forwards to New York from London. It would be
impossible. The children will be there with me.”
Discussing their split, the 35-year-old British screen beauty insists
she and Sam are still good friends who have a lot of “respect” for each
other.
After he makes the James Bond adventure, Kate could even see her
working with the 45-year-olf filmmaker again, following the critical
success of their 2008 movie ‘Revolutionary Road’.
She added to the Daily Mail newspaper: “I can see us working together again – that’s the way it is.
“We’re really good friends and have very good respect for each other. I can see it, but you’d have to ask Sam what he thinks.”
Last month, Kate called time on her relationship with model Louis
Dowler after four months of dating, reportedly thanking him for helping
her get over her split with Sam.
