Zoe Saldana doesn’t want to rush back into work.
The ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ star is expecting twins with husband Marco Perego and insists she has no intention on rushing back to her acting jobs after the birth of her children.
She told Entertainment Weekly: "I know that we will work everything out. I have to say, I’m very lucky. The great thing is that all the producers and creators involved in the projects that I’ve done, … they’re very good people.
"So, they’ve been very understanding, especially with what’s happening in my personal life. I’ve gotten nothing but support."
She added: "They don’t have a choice! I’m not going to rip my child off my t*t to go work. And if I do that, then maybe you shouldn’t hire me because I am willing to sell anything."
The 36-year-old – who has starred in international blockbusters such as ‘Avatar’ – believes it’s just natural to want to spend as much time with her newborns.
She explained: "It’s nature! Like, you just cannot do it. What kind of mother would I be? There’s no choice. It’s like, ‘What, you want me to leave my newborn so that I can work 16 hours on your set? He’s only a month old, are you out of your mind?’
"And the good thing is that half of the people you work with are all parents, and they get it.
"They probably have strong wives at home that are probably going to look at them going, ‘Are you out of your mind?!’ See, it’s having strong women around you! Once we all come together, it’s perfect."
