Kelly Macdonald


Macdonald was born in Glasgow, Scotland. Her mother was a garment industry sales executive. Her parents divorced when she was young. She and her younger brother were raised by her mother on a council estate in the town of Newton Mearns. Macdonald attended Eastwood High School. Her family moved around frequently when she was a child, partially due to poverty.

Macdonald moved away from home when she was 17 years old. She took a college course in modern studies while living with a friend in Glasgow, but she soon dropped out of the class. Macdonald expressed interest in entering a drama school but never did, fearing she wouldn't fit in because of her shyness.

In August 2003, Macdonald married Travis bass player Dougie Payne. The couple live in London, and in November 2007 announced they were expecting their first child in March 2008.

Their son, Freddie Peter Payne, was born on March 9, 2008 and weighed in at 8 lb and 11oz.
