Rachel Weisz keeps her relationship with husband Daniel Craig private by avoiding paparazzi hotspots.

The couple married in a secret ceremony in June 2011 and are reluctant to discuss their romance. Rachel insists it is possible for Hollywood stars to keep their personal lives out of the spotlight.

"I suppose you just don't turn up to places with red carpets," she told Empire magazine. "Now and again [press intrusion is an issue]. Sometimes you don't know they're there. You don't find out until later. I just think there certain places, there are certain restaurants in New York where there will be photographers, so any celebrity who goes there will know that. I would assume they want to be photographed when they go there. So I just don't go there."

Rachel also recalled her Oscar win, which she described as "surreal".

The 42-year-old star won the best supporting actress Academy Award for her role in 2005 drama The Constant Gardener.

The brunette beauty revealed that while she was hoping she would succeed, she didn't really believe she would.

"It's a completely surreal experience," she told Empire magazine.
