Speaking to People, Peter explained: ‘This is a huge movie. She led a group of hundreds of people.
“It’s my wife up there, it’s my wife coming out of the tent and coming to talk to this actor and darting back in. She is such a great leader and she has such a great spirit.”
He also said that they take turns working.
The movie star told PEOPLE, “I think it would be a lot harder to marry someone who has a more consistent line of work in one place.”
Despite this, Peter acknowledged that making a film or TV show requires a certain level of ‘sacrifice’.
‘I think I would have done a lot more things that I wasn’t proud of. So when I say yes to doing something, it’s a kind of sacrifice for me. Not a big one. Everyone else has greater sacrifices in the world, but if I only talk artistically, I can’t work all the time. I have a completely different life. I have a family.’
Meanwhile, Peter recently claimed that acting has helped him become “a more fully developed person.”

Peter grew up in “pretty secluded parts of America” and his immediate family members were often reluctant to express their emotions.
The Hollywood star told the Observer newspaper: ‘I’ve lived with a lot of very sensitive people.
‘Mental illness was a reality in my home.
‘Around those people, in those types of potentially unstable situations, you want to keep everything calm. And I’m very good at it.
‘As a child I spent a lot of time trying to read the minds of people who didn’t know their own. It’s a skill I’ve developed. I often think about what other people think.’
