(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Helena Bonham Carter has admitted she has a passion for cleaning.

The 44-year-old British actress is known for her roles in hit films such as A Room with a View, Fight Club, and the Harry Potter franchise.

Despite leading a glamorous movie star life, Helena admits she enjoys more mundane pastimes such as completing household chores.

The stunning actress lives with director Tim Burton and their two children; Billy Ray, seven, and two-year-old Nell, and their house is always germ free, especially since Helena discovered a new detergent.

Its magic, I cant stop seeing dirt now, she laughed in an interview with British newspaper The Guardian.

Although she achieved success in her acting career at a young age, Helena continued to live with her parents until the age of 30. The star admits this meant she was rather a late developer when it came to cooking and cleaning, and knows the situation wasnt ideal.

They were great, so I wasnt desperate to leave although there was definitely something dysfunctional about it, she added. (C) Cover Media
