Helena Bonham Carter has banned her son from becoming an actor. The eccentric British actress says three-year-old Billy Ray - her son with director lover Tim Burton - will not follow her career path. When asked if she would like to see her son become an actor, Helena told the Culture magazine: "Absolutely not - don't go there mate! He can be a lawyer or accountant."
Her latest role in 'Conversations with Other Women' demanded full frontal nudity, but Helena - who had given birth to son Billy Ray nine months before - refused. She said: "Though it's true that when people have sex, they don't usually keep their clothes on. It was my idea to get undressed under the covers. Otherwise my character had to be naked and get into bed and I said, 'Not if she's self-conscious about her age! Certainly not when she knows he is now with a f***ing dancer!' "
The 40-year-old still doesn't feel like a "mature" actress. She revealed: "I have never felt mature. Anyone who knows me would agree. Sure I'm more interesting than when I was 20, but sadly the parts got exponentially less interesting. My role in 'Conversations with Other Women' was an exception."
