Liv Tyler on choosing to be a mom and good friend Gwyn
When Liv Tyler gave birth to her first child in 2004, she dropped off the radar for quite awhile -- and it was by choice, she says. The 30-year-old actress told Entertainment Weekly that although her path veered away from Hollywood, her decision led to a close relationship with 3 ½-year-old son Milo William and a renewed vigor for work.
I had a child because I wanted to be a mother and not because I wanted an accessory. I really wanted to take that time off, and I did. Now I've never wanted to work more in my entire life.
Now back in the game (with the help of a nanny), Liv has two films -- The Strangers and The Incredible Hulk -- in theaters this month. Cheering her on from the sidelines is actress Gwyneth Paltrow, a good friend who also took the same period of time off after the birth of daughter Apple, now 4. Liv shared,
I really look up to Gwyneth. If I ever have a question about something, it's always 911-Gwyneth! She has the best advice.
Milo's father is Royston Langdon.
