Helena Bonham Carter Benefiting From Parenting Classes

Whereas acting may come naturally to Helena Bonham Carter, the mother of two admits parenthood is an entirely different story.

“I’m not working right now. I need to be a mom,” the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows star, 44, tells E! Online. “It’s much harder being a mom than an actress.”

Noting that “no one taught me what to do” as a mother to Billy Raymond, 7, and Nell, 2½, Bonham Carter has reached out for help — and some much-needed advice.

“I’m taking parenting classes,” she explains. “They’re teaching me some really interesting things, like it’s not your job to know everything … You’ve got to get them to think for themselves.”

“He threw up within minutes of tasting it and got hives on his face. I called 911 and the fire department came immediately.”
