Julianne Moore Celebrates Her 'Regular and Orderly' Life

Julianne Moore has made a career out of playing tragically flawed women on screen, from an incestuous mother in Savage Grace to a wife consumed by jealousy and suspicion in the upcoming film Chloe.

Off screen,  however, she revels in her drama-free life with son Caleb, 12, daughter Liv Helen, 7 ½, and husband Bart Freundlich. “My daughter has her ballet class, my son has his basketball, my husband is writing and playing golf and I act and like to decorate the house,” she notes in a new interview.

The stability she describes is no accident! Julianne, 49, adds,

“As [Gustave] Flaubert says: ‘Be regular and orderly in your life, so that you may be violent and original in your work.’ For me, that’s kind of how it is. I have a very, very normal life, I really do.”

Julianne’s latest movie, A Single Man, is in select theaters now.

Wow! Didn’t know Julianne was almost 50 – she doesn’t look a day over 40! She sounds like she’s very down to earth, and leads a pretty “normal” life.

I second that. I cannot believe she is almost 50! She looks amazing. She must have great genes since I believe she said she wouldn’t do plastic surgery.

I’m embarassed to admit that I didn’t know until now that Cal’s full name is Caleb!

Does anyone know Cal’s middle name? I saw pics of his backpack he was rolling around due to his broken arm from a snowboarding accident and the intials on it were CMF Caleb — Freundlich. Julie’s never said what Cal’s middle name is to my knowledge….so any guess’s or does anyone know for sure? I think Michael possibly.
