Wes Bentley and his wife have welcomed their second child. A representative for Bentley said that the star of "The Hunger Games" and his wife Jacqui Swedberg welcomed their second child, a daughter called Brooklyn, in June. However, the news was only shared on Monday, November 3.
Bentley and Swedberg got married in 2010. In addition to the baby girl, the pair are also parents to 4-year-old son named Charles.
Besides "The Hunger Games", Bentley's other credits include "American Beauty" and "American Horror Story: Freak Show". He next can be seen in Christopher Nolan's highly anticipated sci-fi movie "Interstellar" alongside Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Michael Caine and Jessica Chastain among others.
Speaking to Red Bulletin recently, Bentley shared what he knew about his role when he got signed on the project. "I didn't even know what the project was," he said. "I just went and read for Chris sort of a generally written scene that I knew had nothing to do with what it was going to be. Luckily he asked me to do it. Then I was able to go in and read the script under lock and key in the office."
He also spoke of McConaughey, saying, "He is one of the most genuine people I've ever been around ... the pure focus he has, combined with everyone else finally giving him the credit he deserved. He carries himself in a way that [shows] he's fully found himself."
"Interstellar" hits U.S. theaters on November 7.
