- VENUS IN FUR BROADWAY OPENING – NOVEMBER 

Claire Danes says she has started speaking like a Brit thanks to her husband. The actress has been married to actor Hugh Dancy for the past two years and she says the relationship has affected the way she talks. Danes, 31, said: ‘I feel deeply secure. My trust in Hugh continues to grow and that’s a wonderful thing.’

 She told US magazine Ladies’ Home Journal: ‘British-speak has definitely infiltrated my language, too. ’I say ‘loo’ and ‘bloody’. I even say ‘car park’ instead of ‘parking lot’, which is horrifying to admit. The American actress - who starred opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in the 1996 film Romeo + Juliet – also said she loves dancing. ’I have private dance parties with myself,’ she said. ‘Very frequently actually. I love me some Kanye West. Love me some Beyoncé. But I can dance with no music. I’m good to go.’

- SoHo NY – June 14

The Romeo and Juliet star met Hugh while the pair were shooting the film Evening two years ago and only announced their engagement in February.

The couple tied the knot a few weeks ago, but details have only just emerged of their small celebration.

Claire, 30, and Hugh, 34, were married in a low-key ceremony with just their families and a few close friends, a source told Life & Style magazine.

The couple’s relationship has always been down-to-earth, so it’s no surprise they would shun a huge A-list affair for their nuptials.

Mamie Gummer, who worked with the pair on Evening, told People that she watched Claire and Hugh fall in love over games of Scrabble on set!

And Claire seems to have the right approach to making a marriage go the distance.

‘While relationships are work, this just didn’t feel like it. It’s the kind of work that feels energising rather than enervating,’ she recently told BlackBook magazine.

‘I find it very freeing to know that, okay, it takes constant nurturing and attention, but I can also stop looking for the one.’

Claire Danes (in Tiffany & Co. jewels) and longtime friend and designer Narciso Rodriguez attend the 2009 CFDA Fashion Awards at Lincoln Center in New York City on Monday (June 15).

When the 30-year-old My So Called Lifeactress ties the knot with British actor Hugh Dancy, Claire will be wearing a wedding gown designed by Narciso.

Talking to People, Claire describes Narciso as a “very cheeky and playful and funny, kind and dear . . . one of my dear friends.”

When asked about working with him on the dress Claire said, “I’m so privileged. I’m collaborating a little bit, but I’m just trusting him implicitly. I’m offing my ideas, but they always pale in comparison to his.”
