Claire Danes' baby Cyrus got a good nap in today, as the 'Homeland' actress pushed him in his stroller around her New York neighbourhood on Wednesday May 21, according to the Daily Mail. The actress got on the phone to catch up on some phone calls.
Cyrus, who Danes, 35, shares with husband Hugh Dancy, is 17 months old. Danes has just a few weeks left in New York until filming for 'Homeland' begins once again.
'Homeland' had previously filmed in North Carolina, for this season the star will be traveling a lot more with filming set to resume in June in South Africa.
This season of course will not star Damian Lewis, after his character Nicholas Brody was killed off in the show's dramatic finale.
Danes revealed how saying goodbye to Lewis felt in a roundtable discussion with The Hollywood Reporter. The actress sat down with five other contenders for the Best Drama Actress Emmy Award, including Julianna Margulies, Keri Russell, Vera Farmiga, Sarah Paulson and Jessica Pare.
Danes said Brody's death was a long time coming, saying, "[Killing him] was supposed to happen in the second season. Then the Carrie-Brody relationship became so captivating for audiences that Showtime wanted to extend it. We had been anticipating the finale for quite a while."
She added, "We shot the scene [where Brody is hanged] on our final day working in Morocco. It was all very heightened, literally."
Danes also talked about the most difficult phase in her career. The 'Homeland' actress said, "I went through a period in my mid- to late-20s when I was transitioning out of that ingenue period, which I was very grateful to be doing. But I was playing a lot of roles where I was defined by my love for some guy, and that got really tedious. I mean, I love love and falling in love, but it can get pretty flat real fast. Then I did Temple Grandin, which was such a blessing because it was so antithetical to any ingenue role. I felt stretched, inspired and robust. Then there was just nothing again, and that was almost harder." She added later that not finding roles she liked until 'Homeland,' was 'crushing.'
