Not many women can say that they’ve not only experienced the joy of pregnancy, but have also managed to sport the bump sans baby! Pregnant with her second child, Maya Rudolph recently got the chance to strap on the extra load for her new film Away We Go. While the 36-year-old actress prefers the real-life pregnancy — the baby is “on autopilot and it just takes care of itself” — she admits her costume certainly came with its own set of perks after a long day. “That’s where the fake pregnancy belly comes in handy,” she says. “You can just remove it at the end of the day.”
That said, taking off the bump poses a challenge in and of itself!
“It also requires a lot of pulling on and peeling off and having people dress you like you’re an infant and accompanying you to the ladies room and things like that.”
Despite being “really excited” with the news, Maya shares that the big pregnancy announcement came a bit too soon for the expectant mama. “I sort of wanted it to be a surprise, but somebody leaked it, somebody spilled the secret,” she says.
Maya and her partner Paul Thomas Anderson are also parents to Pearl Bailey, 3 ½.
