Rachel McAdams, Tears on the Walk of Fame... Praises Partner Jamie Linden as 'North Star'

From a symbol of a lovely smile to a representative actress of Hollywood. Rachel McAdams (47) shed tears of joy as she received the greatest honor of her acting career.

According to foreign media on the 21st (Korean time), McAdams became the owner of the 2,833rd star at the Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony held in Los Angeles, California, on January 20 (local time).

◆ "It Feels Ridiculous Just to Have My Name Here"

On this day, McAdams attributed her success to her family and colleagues. In her acceptance speech, she expressed humility, saying, "It feels ridiculous just to have my name here. I want to share this little piece of land with all of you." She particularly moved the audience by mentioning the story of how she begged her parents, Lance and Sandra, to let her audition for a TV show when she was 8 years old, saying, "Thank you for loving me long before you believed in me."

◆ Confession to Partner Jamie Linden, Who is Shrouded in Mystery

The most notable moment was when she mentioned her long-time partner, screenwriter Jamie Linden (45). Although the two have been extremely private about their personal lives, they were together on this day. McAdams looked at Linden and her sister, Kailyn, and said, "My North Star Jamie, and my other North Star Kailyn. Thank you for being a great team and keeping me 'semi-normal'" as she teared up. It is very rare for this couple, who have been together since 2016 and have two children, to express their affection for each other in public.

◆ Reunion from 'About Time' and New Challenges

At the event, Domhnall Gleeson, who co-starred with her in the movie 'About Time', and director Sam Raimi of her new project 'Send Help' attended to congratulate her. Starting 2026 with a bang by entering the Walk of Fame, McAdams is set to showcase a powerful acting transformation in the horror thriller 'Send Help', directed by Sam Raimi, on January 30.
