natascha_mcelhoneNatascha McElhone says that her three boys constantly remind her of her late husband Martin Kelly, who tragically died when she was pregnant with their third child.

The actress says that she is thankful that her three boys,  Theodore, 9, Otis, 6 ½,  and Rex, 13 months, are so much like their father. She says, “Their brains are very much like Martin’s, thank God, because he had an extraordinary brain.”

Apparently Theo is just like Martin as he is “a chess fiend” and has a “a fascination for science and how things work.”

Otis and Rex are like their daddy in other ways. ““[Otis] has a lust for life, a contagious energy that was very much Martin’s,” the 37-year-old actress says, “and the baby…I think he looks like Martin, but I’m probably projecting wildly.”

She added, “Martin is such a part of me now, and me a part of him. For example, I could never do an impersonation of him, whereas I could impersonate anyone else outside my family. It’s only when someone comes in from outside and says, ‘Oh God, he looked just like Martin when he did that.’ I see them every day, so it’s hard for me to be objective.”

Natascha also says that all of the focus is on her three boys. She says, “I’m the frame and they’re the picture and that’s how it should be. The movie we’re watching is their life. Kids take parents for granted and I want them to take me for granted. I’m happy to be their wallpaper for as long as they want.”

Although she says her boys are obsessed with wheels and they like to “whack one another” they also have a tender and compassionate side as well. “Theo loves Rex, he’s obsessed with him, as is Otis. He won’t get out of the car in the morning until he’s given Rex a kiss,” Natasha said.

Natascha’s husband Martin Kelly died of a heart attack in 2008 while Natasha was pregnant with her youngest son Rex. They were married 10 years.
