Weeks has described herself as a “recycling obsessive,” who couldn’t bear to see “all those cups going in the normal trash to become landfill.” She described how wasteful some cast mates can be and has gone as far putting up “please recycle” notes all over the kitchen to create the awareness. Not only that, she has no qualms rummaging through waste bins, while on a movie set, just to pick and wash up people’s dirty plastic cups while making an obvious point of it.

Siblings

There is a six-year gap between Weeks and her older sister, and only a year gap with her younger brother. Speaking in one of her interviews with HELLO! Fashion Monthly, Weeks praised her “Oxford graduate” sister, saying that it isn’t such a bad thing to have an older sibling to look up to as a good example. She said there wasn’t any direct rivalry between them. Although she hinted there was a professional jealousy between them since Honeysuckle “has a 100 per cent hit rate for everything” she aims for.
