  • Jools Oliver: Jamies a workaholic

    Chef Jamie Oliver’s wife Jools has said that she wants him to work less.

    The 34-year-old revealed that being married to Jamie, also 34, can be hard work. The couple have been married for nine years and they have three young daughters together.

    She said: “I’ve never known a person to work so hard. I don’t know how he does it. I’d hate his life, I couldn’t bear it.”

    Jools also said that she finds it difficult being away from her husband for long periods.

    She said: “I’m nearly 35, I don’t go out a lot and sometimes I get lonely. I don’t mind the day-trips to Sweden, but please come home at night.”

    Talking about Jamie retiring, she added: “We discuss it all the time. But then we think, we’re only 34 and life’s a rat race.

    “In 2011, he’s going to try to do a four-day work week, spend more time with the children and just enjoy life more.”

  • ‘Workaholic’ Penelope Cruz’s parents urged her to slow down

    Spanish actress Penelope Cruz said her parents urged her to slow down as she used to be a “total workaholic”.

    Cruz, 35, is starring in Pedro Almodovar’s new movie Broken Embraces and she has previously admitted that she suffered a breakdown when she was 17 after working too hard.

    Cruz said that over the last two years she has created “a much better equilibrium between work and time” for her life.

    She added to British newspaper The Times: “I can rest, go travelling, have time to do nothing. Before I might take 15 days off in a year and try to leave my BlackBerry in my room to please my family.

    “I was a total workaholic. I think that’s what I needed to do then. Now I can work, but I’m not on movie sets the whole year. I can say no until there is something I really need to do.”
