Banks, who played Effie Trnket in the ‘Hunger Games’ franchise, shares details of her personal life with Porter Edit’s Jane Mulkerrins discussing her 16-year marriage, and 27 year relationship with Max Handelman. The couple have two sons Felix, 8, and Magnus, 7 — both born via surrogates as a result of fertility-related issue.

The couple met on the first day of college and have been together ever since.

“We were constantly making decisions that kept us close,” Banks went on, noting that Handelman changed careers and joined his wife in the industry “to combine our professional and personal goals.”

“[We’re] a little traditional when it comes to marriage,” she admitted. “I think there are people that go into marriage thinking: ‘If it doesn’t work, I’ll get divorced.’ That’s not me.”

Generally speaking, the ‘Charlie’s Angels’ reboot, which opened in early November, is considered to a box office flop, with an $8 million opening. Deadline speculates on why, and we’re reading multiple discussions before commenting further.
