Anna Friel In Page Six
Actress Anna Friel currently stars as Charlie "Chuck" Charles in Pushing Daises, and she talked with Page Six Magazine about her life, as well as partner David Thewlis, whom she met in 2001, and their 3-year-old daughter Gracie.
On being told it would be difficult for her to have children: "Knowing that, there was one time that we were perhaps not as careful as we should have been, and bang-o-- I was pregnant. I thought, well, so much for 'it's going to be difficult.' I was 28, and it was the best thing ever."
On her relationship with partner David Thewlis: "He thinks it's something really romantic, us never having gotten married. It doesn't mean we're not committed, but we don't need to change anything because things are quite good. Plus we have a child, which is the most bonded thing you can have, anyway."
On why she'll never give in to Hollywood's stick-thin mold: "I'm not going to come to L.A. and be anorexic. I've still got shape. I eat healthily because that's how I was brought up – I never reach for Cocoa Puffs in the morning."

Ahh, that's the secret to long-term relationships in Hollywood: tell yourself it's 'romantic' that you don't get married.
Please. People don't get married because they want a quick escape clause if need be. They want to remain independant and make it easier on themselves. It has nothing to do with romance, or the fact they don't need a 'piece of paper.' Newsflash. It's not a piece of a paper. It's a covenant that should remain intact between two people. They proclaim their love in front of God, family, friends, and the world. THAT'S romance.
Funny, my SO and I have been together for over a decade - we have two children, own a business, and a house together.
You are telling me that there is no real commitment there?
That it would be easy for either of us to walk away? Really?
Newsflash. It is just a piece of paper to many.
I have to agree - in this day and age, with the divorce rate what it is, I kind of feel like it's just a piece of paper.
People can go to Vegas and get married after knowing each other for hours, and I don't feel like just because they're married they are more committed than a couple like Robyn's, who have a life together, just because they have a piece of paper. Sorry.
I agree with the first poster.
Marriage is way more romantic than just living with someone and getting pregnant ever will be. I'll take a man who values that little "piece of paper" over others any day, any time because to me it is much more than that.
October 31st is my 10 year anniversary! And I believe that marriage is just a piece of paper. I think commitment is the best thing for a relationship and just because your married doesn't mean your committed to being with someone for the long haul...being together for the long haul as more to do with the two in the relationship than it does the actually saying of "I Do"...I do love being married but we together 7 years before we got married..so I agree with the ladies above me the paper doesn't mean jack unless you are committed from the start..marriage doesn't make the heart grow fonder lol
