After being extremely secretive about the birth of her baby boy, Rachel McAdams is finally opening up about being a mother and how motherhood has changed her life in the best possible way. She welcomed her son in April this year.

EOnline reports that the 40-year-old actress has realized that motherhood is the best role she's ever played. "It's the greatest thing that's ever happened to me, hands down." After spending almost half her life essaying a variety of roles, McAdams decided that motherhood was the next big step she was eager to take. "[People say] your life is not your own anymore," McAdams explained. "But I had 39 years of me, I was sick of me, I was so happy to put the focus on some other person. I waited a long time [for motherhood]."
