Toni Collette had
been leaning toward mother roles, and now she thinks
she knows why: The Oscar-nominated actress confirmed Monday
that she's pregnant.
It will be the
first child for the 34-year-old Australian actress and her
musician husband, Dave Galafassi.
''We're very
happy. We are completely over the moon,'' she said.
Collette was
nominated for an Academy Award in the Best Supporting
Actress category for her role in 1999's supernatural
thriller The Sixth Sense, and her more recent roles
include the mother in the dysfunctional-family comedy
Little Miss Sunshine.
''It is strange
the last three films I've done I have been pregnant,''
said Collette, who is currently in Sydney with her side
project, Toni Colette and the FInish, a rock and roll
band that includes Galafassi on drums. ''I'm just
like, what is the universe trying to tell me?
''But I think
everything happens when it's meant to,'' she said.
The Finish was
among the acts that appeared Saturday at the Sydney
edition of Live Earth, the global concert series that aimed
to raise awareness about global warming. (AP)
