Miranda Otto - Personal Life

Personal Life

On 1 January 2003, she married actor Peter O'Brien, after the two had met while performing in A Doll's House. Otto and O'Brien have one child, a daughter Darcey, who was born on 1 April 2005. The pregnancy almost forced her to turn down her role in War of the Worlds. Since the birth of her daughter, Otto has limited her work so she can spend time with her family at their home in Australia.

In a 2004 interview, Otto stated that she hopes she will never be as famous as fellow Australian actress Nicole Kidman because she's "not sure could ever deal with that."
