Emma Thompson is revered for her performances in films such as Nanny McPhee, Harry Potter, and of course, Love Actually. She is one of the most well-known actors in Hollywood. When she thought she’d found the love of her life in Kenneth Branagh, the world was naturally thrilled for her, but in only a few short years, her world would come crumbling down, leaving her to doubt everything in her life.
We are, of course, referring to the affair he allegedly had with Helena Bonham Carter, which was the subject of much conjecture at the time but was rarely discussed by anybody involved in the situation.
Who is Emma Thompson husband Kenneth Branagh?
After being together lasting for two years, Thompson and Branagh, both 61 at the time, wed in 1989. In September of 1995, they made the announcement that they were no longer together, citing incompatibilities in their work schedules as the cause for the breakup. However, it was then discovered that the Belfast filmmaker had established a romantic involvement with Bonham Carter, 56, while the two of them were working on Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein in 1994.
