She may play the needy, two-timing Julia McNamara on the FX series Nip/Tuck, but in real life Joely Richardson is all heart. Richardson is considering adopting a child from Malawi after a recent visit to the impoverished African nation to help raise awareness of their lack of water. While there she was deeply moved by the orphanages she visited. “I was almost in tears on a hospital visit because there were two or three babies to each cot."
Richardson says she's aware that there will be comparisons to Madonna's adoption of son David from the same country, but she feels the strong need for another baby in her life. “I would love to adopt. My daughter Daisy is a teenager and becoming self-reliant and I have a lot of friends who had adopted.”
Don't worry about the comparisons to Madonna, Joely. Try not to get photographed tongue-kissing girls and you should be fine.
