Emily Mortimer: "I Bore People With How Brilliant The Children Are"

Shutter Island star Emily Mortimer can't help but gush over her two children with husband Alessandro Nivola - 6-month-old daughter May, and 6 1/2-year-old son, Samuel. The actress has revealed that she did have one concern, however, while pregnant.

In an interview with The Guardian via Contact Music, Mortimer revealed that she was a bit worried that her daughter would inherit her grandfathers "odd-shaped" jaw!

It was such a freak jaw. I was living in dread that was going to emerge, but she's gorgeous. I bore people with how brilliant the children are. Because it doesn't seem like they are connected to you at all. It's like a stork brought them.

Mortimer then continued to gush, saying, "You realize this the minute they come out. This person is already who they are and they are already brilliant and I've had no impact on it whatsoever."

Nivola and Mortimer were married in 2003 after meeting on the set of a film 3-years earlier.
