ANNA FRIEL - FRIEL REGRETS MISSED SOCCER STAR MEETING

FRIEL REGRETS MISSED SOCCER STAR MEETING

British actress ANNA FRIEL regrets not hanging out with world class soccer players while filming her latest movie GOAL! 2 - but was too busy getting to grips with motherhood. The former UK soap star appears in the second installment of the $100 million (GBP50.8 million) sports trilogy, which charts the rise to fame of a Mexican boy who becomes a worldwide soccer icon. But Friel didn't get a chance to relax with her co-stars, and real-life soccer players ZINIDINE ZIDANE, RONALDO and DAVID BECKHAM, because she had just given birth to her daughter GRACIE - from her relationship with actor DAVID THEWLIS. She says, "When I wasn't shooting, I was rushing around breast-feeding or having to deal with leaking breasts which grew and grew and grew."
