Meanwhile, the Great Gatsby star - who married rocker husband Marcus in 2012 - has been busy promoting her latest film, Suffragette. 

Suffragette, directed by Sarah Gavron and written by Abi Morgan, tells the story of the British women's suffrage movement of the late 19th and early 20th century.

Meryl Streep plays British suffragette leader Emmeline Pankhurst.

Carey's character Maud is a working wife and mother whose life is forever changed when she is secretly recruited to join the UK's growing suffragette movement led by Pankhurst.
