Helena Bonham Carter wishes people would stop telling her how to act while pregnant – especially men.
The actress, due to give birth to her second child next month, said she is sick of getting dirty looks when she drinks caffeine.
She said: “People – particularly men – saying with surprise, ‘You’re still drinking caffeine?’ as if I’m performing a criminal act on my unborn as I tuck into my treasured one-a-day cup of tea or coffee. Yeah. “You try nine months of gestation and self-abnegation before you start censoring my diet.”
She told a US magazine: “Your mother was probably on vodka, and do you have three heads?”
Fight Club star Carter, 41, already has a four-year-old son, Billy Ray, with director partner Tim Burton.
She has told how she tried for two years to become pregnant again.
