Speaking to Jones magazine last year, Elsa said she’d selflessly put her acting career on hold after having children so her husband could focus on making movies.
‘I decided to focus on them and leave my career on the side, to just do little things here and there and try to be happy with that, even though it was my passion and I loved what I did,’ the mother of three said.
However, as Chris’ career flourished, Elsa couldn’t help but feel envious.

‘It was hard in some moments, because you see the person you love doing what you’re so passionate about, you see them doing movies, and you wish you could too,’ she added.
‘But because of my family I didn’t want to shoot anywhere else and it was Chris’ moment, I just let him know that he could do what he had to do and we’ll follow.’
Meanwhile, Elsa is currently playing the lead role in Netflix’s Interceptor, which focuses on a female protagonist who must save the world from 16 nuclear missiles.
