Unlike the first time around,Claire Daneshas the luxury of taking some time off of work for her second pregnancy.
“I feel pretty knocked up at this point. I am definitely with child,” the 39-year-oldHomelandactress said Tuesday night at the FYC screening of her Showtime series’ season finale in Beverly Hills, California.
“I feel okay,” she added. “I’ve been doing a bit of traveling and tap dancing, as I call it, which is my term for letting peopleknow that I’ve been making workand encourage them to see it. Pretty soon I get to retire for a little while and just be pregnant, which I look forward to.”
The star was sporting a black-and-white plaidNina Riccidress with a fringe hem that she accessorized with strappy heels. When asked how she walks in them, Danes joked, “Years of practice!”

Danes’ son Cyrus has also spent some of his five years of life so far on set with his mom. “Cyrus, her 5-year-old, I’ve grown up directing with him in my arms,” said Lesli Linka Glatter, executive producer, show runner and director of the final episode for the season.
Unlike the character Danes plays on the show, she isknown as a pretty fantastic mom. “Carrie Mathison is one of the worst moms and how ironic,” said Glatter. “Claire, on the other hand, is an amazing mother. She is so loving and fun, and they are so close together. It’s amazing to see them together.”

Dane’s pregnancy didn’t play out in the show. It was something they had to hide, but only for a few episodes at the end of the season when she started showing.
“We saw it just at the end of theseason but we were hiding that,” said Glatter. “We’d have to do what we call belly passes, meaning we’d have to cast an actress with her body type and then have her do all the wide shots and then we would take Claire’s belly away.”
As for whether or not this would be Danes’ last season, Glatter remained mum. “I think it’s still unclear. There are certainly more stories to tell and I think we’ll all find out.”
Regardless, the actress has really been enjoying her time off work during this pregnancy. When asked if shewas having any cravings lately, she just smiled and said, “Not really. Just all of the food. I welcome all of the food.”
