Helena Bonham Carter has banned her son from becoming an actor.

The eccentric British actress says three-year-old Billy Ray - her son with director lover Tim Burton - will not follow her career path.

Believe it or not, even though they've been together for more than six years, Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burton live in separate houses. Helena recently said the couple cannot live together because they cannot agree on décor.

The couple - who have a three-year-old son Billy - have a house each in London's plush Hampstead region and are next door to each other, linked by a single corridor.

A British actress is currently starting her own unique fashion trend and she doesn't care what other people may think of it. Helena Bonham Carter recently described herself as the "Antichrist of fashion," but kudos to her for not following the crowd and taking lead.

The "Big Fish" actress - who is renowned for her unconventional clothing - has admitted she will never be as stylish as other Hollywood actresses.

Helena Bonham Carter is furious that Hollywood stars face constant pressure to stay looking young and beautiful. The actress recently spoke out about the rampant ageism in the city. The "Fight Club" star - who turned 40 this year - claims Tinseltown has an unhealthy obsession with youth and unfairly pressures older actresses to look younger in order to land roles.

She fumed to Easy Living magazine, "It's ridiculous. We're all going to age and we have to start learning to accept it. I recently made a film called 'Conversations With Other Women' and loved my character. She was a genuinely three-dimensional woman who was allowed to be in her late 30s, which is so refreshing in a world where everyone consistently tries to be younger. We aren't all 20 so why should we play parts where we're trying to look it? There are actual 20-year-olds to do that."
