That scene in Love Actually where she cries while straigening the bed is heartbreaking.
So happy for Emma. She found her true love.
especially since she wanted kids, and it seems like he didn't.
And won the oscars with the project that helped her get out of depression. And hooked up with dashing Willoughby from sense and sensibility ;)
And yet she still cries over this affair nearly three decades later. She knows perfectly well that Helena and Ken will be bashed so to make herself look like the bigger person, pretends she has forgiven her. If she no longer holds any resentment towards Helena, why bring this up all the time? Does Emma Thompson have nothing to talk about other than the affair her ex-husband had decades ago? Not only is Helena much more beautiful than Emma, she also doesn't seem insufferable like her. I don't blame Ken at all.
@@BerylGhermez God has blessed Emma with a better husband who is faithful and successful like her. Why should she not mentioned the side piece or other woman who had an adulterous affair with her cheating husband when reminiscing about her life for the comfort of this woman or her supporter like you.
I love Emma Thompson in everything she does. So very talented. Glad she found happiness!
I also liked her in The name of the father.
Emma Thompson is one of the kindest, most talented and brilliant artists of our time. His loss!!
If only she wasn't so wrongly woke. Please move into reality Emma x
@@lucylocket420 Things woke people say.
@@lucylocket420 She is the high priestess of woke. Tells the average joe how to live their life, while doing the complete opposite.
Thompson is a class act. I will not comment on Branagh.
Emma Thompson is a superb actress! No body deserves a cheater! If you're not in love, divorce then have your fling. Don't be a cheater!
Cheating happens, most people do it, it`s natural. And it has nothing to do with love.
@@susannesteinbock1639 Wow, what a sad, woke, shallow outlook.
@@susannesteinbock1639 Wow, what a sad, woke, shallow outlook. A man would be very foolish to marry you. Hopefully you're single, with no children
Cheating has everything to do with love; however, not for someone like yourself. People who love each other are loving, loyal, and faithful. THAT'S "natural," not your twisted version of relationships.
@@donnabaardsen5372: Not at all! Ilove freedom, I accept nature and I am not conservative.
@susannesteinbock1639 Yes but you can still be an adult about it. Creeping around behind your partners back lying to them is bad, most people know this. If you fall out of love, leave, then at least you are both on the same page
I've always had a celebrity crush on Emma Thompson. What a bright light.
Emma has done far better in her second marriage and has gone from strength to strength. Karma.
Love Emma.
Great talent.
I mean she married Greg Wise after that. I think Ken did her a huge favour. She hit the jackpot with that man. They are so beautifully in love.
The scene from Love Actually always reduces me to tears … it’s a personal memory for me, but know that she channelled her grief into this scene. I lost all respect for him when he had an affair with HBC.
Emma Thompsom is such an amazing actor, and writer, such a talent.
Let us acknowledge in kindness that this was a blessing in disguise, because she was later brought together with a lovely man, who respects women so much, and Greg obviously adores Emma!!! I am truly happy that Emma has got to experience a loving marriage to a wonderful man. Mr Wise is such a lovely man, so glad they found each other! ❣️
Such a talented actress, with a much better looking husband the second time around.
I am glad Ken's star is not shining brightly anymore. He was better at everything, acting, directing, choosing projects, etc., when he and Emma were together. They made really great movies. He was such a jerk, leaving her in the way he did. No class at all. His bright light dimmed, and he hasn't made an interesting movie in years, while her time in the spotlight was amazingly bright. Howard's End! The Remains of the Day! So many more..... Then, happily, in the end, Emma got the husband she deserved all along: the talented and gorgeous Greg Wise! He is such a class act!
What rubbish. Ken Branagh is an astounding actor, Director. He is highly articulate, very well respected theatre actor. Do you not know this.
@@maureenhallahan9336 Also we are not privy to their marriage.
Hollywood doesn’t entrust the direction of blockbusters to folks whose “bright light has dimmed”. 🤣
Hold the front page, shock announcement, they drifted apart and he fell in love with someone else. That literally happens to millions upon millions of couples every year so what gives you the right to be so sanctimonious and judgemental? Look to your own life and your own issues before spitting venom at complete strangers. Great that Emma, Ken and Helena have put it all behind and are on great terms with each other. People like you could learn a thing or two from them.
Emma traded up! A man who would leave her for a freak like Helena Bonham Carter didn't deserve her. I'll bet Helena made him regret that decision big time.
Sometimes things happen for a reason - I'm glad all three have found peace. We have all made mistakes - it takes maturity and selflessness to forgive. This is wonderful.
Emma got it right when she said you can't hold on to stuff like that. Anger and resentment cause you more hurt than those it is directed at. Let it go. Sometimes easier said than done!
Let it go....takes time though❤
@@helendavies1326 "you cant hold onto stuff like that", and here she is decades later still whining about it!
Few things are worse than a broken heart. Protect yourself.
How? How do you protect yourself from a cheater…the very name indicates it’s not what one expects or can protect yourself from
Never experiencing love is far worse.
Theres no balance😢@@DawnSelene
@@DawnSelenepersonal opinion❤
Idk, I prefer a broken heart to, for example: disability, poverty, war or death (to name a few).
So... Bellatrix Lestrange had an affair with Gilderoy Lockhart while Lockhart cheated on Prof. Trelawney? Childhood shattered... 😅
He's such an egomaniac, I've actually wondered if the people who decided to cast him as Lockhart were throwing shade. "Let's have this asshole play a cartoon version of himself!" "Yeah, that'll be a lark!"
😆😅😂💯🏆
Ouch that hurt... 😂
Yep that was my take away
Just ❤ Emma superb actress 👌
Emma is a legend. She was meant to find happiness with Greg. This is life. Things happen.
Love you Thompson 💕💜💕💜
I love Emma Thompson but I love Helena Bonham Carter too.
So sorry to hear of their pain.
Glad its over and they're all happy now
Overcoming a heart break by writting a oscar winning script. And I wondered which role Greg Wise had in sense or sensibility. Wait - he was dashing Willoughby !
Jane posed the title not as a question, using "or" but as two virtues and comparing and contrasting them hence "Sense and Sensibility"
I LOVED them together! Sorry it didn't last - both Superb actors
You really dodged a bullet Emma
I remember it. I had my heart broken, too, Emma... Coz I loved Branagh, a good actor, that time.
I have thought about her broken heart from that divorce for three decades, never knowing she got married to that really handsome, and apparently great guy. And they are all friends! If that isn't a feelgood thing that lifts your heart. Bravo! Well done!
I found her scene in the master bedroom in tears really poignant. it felt very much like her own experience, which we"ve found out it was! ]
At the time of their split…the were THE COUPLE in showbiz…they had it all…? No one believed the reason given for their split and divorce…It wasn’t long till the World found out…Kenneth was a cheater…. Having embarked on a torrid affair with HBC ( frankly I thought she had better taste) Emma Thompson is a Lovey of the British Stage…100% Talent in the most British Fashion. Loved and adorned !!! Greg is the Lucky Man and I’m sure he knows it.. As for the first Mr Thompson… more fool him.
Love Emma Thompson! Hugh Grant once described her as “Mad as a chair”. I’m wondering if this is a play on words, meaning “March Hare”.
That scene is heartbreaking.
Very interesting, thank you! I love Emma and I really like Kenneth and Helena. I enjoyed so much the Shakespeare adaptions with Ken and Emma. Happily they are fine now, and I wish them the best!!
Emma’s new husband is gorgeous.
So sad. They were an immense presence on screen.
I suppose most movie sets are like pick up bars for actors.
Not all marriages are meant to last forever. Disentangling before you start anything new is a better way to go.
Im glad both have prospered and found happiness in their real lives.
Doesn't say much for either Branagh or Bonham-Carter.
Oh, don't worry about Helena! She bounced back by breaking up Lisa Marie and Tim Burton, then had his children. /s
you're very naive
@@JulioLeonFandinho Interesting choice of vocabulary. If you mean I believe in ending one relationship properly before embarking upon the next and treating others with integrity and respect then the description is apposite: albeit an unexpected choice.
I never like Branagh for some reason. Loved Emma in Sense & Sensibility - and I've watched that film over & over... and then to meet her REAL love Greg in it!
ich war entsetzt, dass Kenneth Branagh Emma mit einer Frau wie Helena betrogen hat. Ich mochte Helena vorher schon nicht, aber als ich das wusste, war es ganz vorbei. Und ich bewundere Emma dafür, dass sie nicht schlecht über Helena oder Ken spricht und ihren Frieden damit gemacht hat. Und ich gönne ihr ihr Glück mit Greg von ganzem Herzen. Wahrscheinlich musste das mit Ken passieren, damit sie das ganz große Glück mit Greg finden konnte. Die zwei sind füreinander bestimmt.
She’s very happy now.
Beautiful lady.....her true husband fits her perfectly ❤❤❤❤❤
I never blamed anyone for breaking my heart. I broke it several times myself.
Show how one can be absolutely brilliant at work, and a failure at home.
Emma has only gotten more attractive and talented. She is a gem!
Shame on Kenneth and Helena. That's a vile thing to do. Emma is wonderful ❤
Excellent documentary thank you!
Emma is brilliant, funny, and witty.
One of the beautiful things about the Greg Wise story is that even though the prophecy came true, even with the prophecy he didn’t even consider Emma because he was 100% committed to honoring the boundaries of her marriage. It may have been a rough time in life, but it’s interesting to contrast the relationship between Kenneth and Helena and Greg and Emma. Kenneth and Helena just did whatever felt good in the moment with zero respect for boundaries or the other person involved. It may have felt good in the moment, but they obviously didn’t stay together, and honestly neither of them seems to have found anything of substance in terms of future relationships compared to what they lost. In contrast, Emma and Greg didn’t even remotely consider ANYTHING when they met, but they let fate play out and waited until it was appropriate and the previous relationship had run its course. It may have taken longer and may have meant facing more heartbreak in the short term, but they both found a relationship with substance in the end. Karma is real, even if it is rarely instant. Unless they mature a lot, I doubt either Kenneth or Helena will ever know the true joy and growth and sense of fulfillment and accomplishment and trust, etc., etc. that Emma and Greg get to know because they were willing to put in the work to build something infinitely more valuable and real. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not judging people who choose to have flings, etc., but there is a major difference in having a fling that is not agreed upon that destroys the happiness and trust of a third party who got no say in the matter and two genuinely single people have a mutually-agreed fling. And there’s also a major difference between say two 18-year-olds having a fling as they are discovering who they are and older adults that choose a life of perpetual flings because they prioritize ease and convenience over growth and effort that sometimes requires sacrifice and self-control to build something of substance. If Kenneth wants to have his fling with Helena, it may be immature and may not lead to much happiness, but if he ends his relationship with Emma first because he realizes they aren’t a good match because she is more mature and actually does want a monogamous relationship, and he’s not in that phase of his life yet, he gets a pass on 90% of it in my eyes. He still missed out on Gold to get a tiny piece of Fool’s Gold, but at least he is being honest and respectful about it. But yeah, I think the fact that he also wasn’t even willing to have the decency to end his serious relationship first before pursuing his own comfort and enjoyment is why he seems to be paying a bit of karma even to this day. Heck, if he had ended like a man, given time to heal he might even have salvaged some of the professional relationship with his ex-wife, which was clearly the strongest phase of his career.
And yes, that is mostly me just rambling so I can better understand the situation. If anyone actually ever reads all of that I will be in complete shock.
Well, I'm left thinking you must surely be very good friends with all of them, as there's no way else you could possibly know what happened between each couple or even Ken and Helena! Because, I certainly wouldn't 't presume to know what was going on, what they were thinking, or saying to other people at that time or as time went on! I also heard here that Kate Winslet suggested to Greg Wise he might want to spend some time with Emma (according to this and other reports I've read) One would think Emma and Kenneth had split by then , yes? It was 1995. Most women don't suggest a man pursue a friend who is married...do they? Maybe I'm naive 😜
@@dod2304 I figured everyone knew the stories because it is a matter of public record, but yes, I did watch a short documentary where both Greg and Emma talked about this. Greg was so convinced the prophecy was true that he even tried to date Kate Winslet for awhile, but it just didn’t work out. He specifically said it never even occurred to him to consider Emma because she was married, and to him that meant she was completely off limits in that way. Several people at the time noticed they seemed to get along quite well, but they saw it as getting along as good friends to respected the boundaries of her marriage, nothing more. And yes, I know that because that is what they both EXPLICITLY SAID. It’s also what those in the cast also said. Sure, they could both be lying, and observers never know the whole story, but I for one tend to believe them partly because it is so in line with their behavior afterwards.
With Kenneth and Helena, I would just say actions speak louder than words. So sure, in their particular cases I have very limited evidence about their opinions. I have heard Helena talk about her general attitude towards relationships and marriage, etc., and that attitude seems to perfectly mirror her behavior in this particular situation, but I haven’t heard her talk about this situation specifically. And I am definitely reading into both of their levels of happiness. I do know in principle that you can’t know the benefits of a long term relationship that requires work, respect, self-sacrifice, discipline, etc. without putting that effort in. I suppose it’s technically possible say Kenneth is now in the best relationship of his life and it is way better than Emma’s relationship with Greg, but I have actually heard Emma and Greg talk about their relationship, and they say incredible things, and their body language seems consistent with what they are saying. And although Kenneth may not talk as much about his relationships, in every interview I have seen when he was young and still with Emma he seems to have a vibrancy that completely disappeared after they split up. Sure, one could blame that on age or say there were other things going on in his life that made him lose that vibrancy, but when I watch later interviews, etc. with Emma her energy gets more vibrant, more confident, more mature, and seemingly more happy. Even just watching her interview after the Harvey Weinstein scandal was powerful for me. There was a woman who knew exactly who she was who wasn’t afraid to own her past mistakes and who also wasn’t afraid to speak the truth in spite of the danger of speaking the truth in a way that no one else was speaking it. Sure, that confidence and maturity and honesty may come from other areas of her life, too, but it is perfectly consistent with the attitude she has shown towards marriage as well.
So no, I don’t know any of them personally. And yes, I am definitely reading a lot into certain situations. I have watched thousands, perhaps even hundreds of thousands of hours of footage of all of the people involved. I have been following Emma and Kenneth ever since Henry V, which is longer than many people online have even been alive. But just because I notice that Kenneth seems to have lost his sparkle and Emma has not doesn’t prove anything. To me this is not just a shot in the dark. I personally believe the principles which I said, so I’m adding the limited evidence I have into their individual lives to the principles that definitely have the power to explain what I seem to be seeing, but that certainly isn’t conclusive. I find it compelling enough that I still choose to believe it is highly likely, but you’re absolutely right that it isn’t conclusive at all. I will also say for some reason Helena doesn’t seem to have suffered as much from the experience. Although the way I perceive it is that the reason she didn’t lose her sparkle the way Kenneth lost his sparkle is because she didn’t have as much sparkle to lose in the first place. She has always come off as a darker, much more immature soul who at least is consistent in her brand of being darker, caring less, and having zero respect for social norms. I have never gotten the impression Helena cared one bit about what she did, but I also kind of get the impression she has no clue how much her actions hurt Emma. My feeling is she things she hurt her on maybe a 2 on a scale of 10, when she really hurt her at maybe a 9 out of 10, and this oblivious attitude is probably what inoculated her from feeling way worse about what she did. Yes, I am definitely reading a ton into her body language. She said some of this explicitly, but she didn’t say it all, and I personally believe probably 75% of it is outside of her own awareness, so she couldn’t explicitly say it because even she doesn’t know it if it is true. But it is all consistent with the principles I am seeing. Just as if I know someone abused drugs because they said so in an interview, and in a later interview they are shaking and slurring their words, etc., and then a couple years later they are perfectly still and speaking clearly, and between the interviews there are tabloid stories of that person going to rehab, I don’t know for sure that they were under the influence of some substance in the interview where they were slurring their words, but based on the body language and the known information that has been shared it’s not an outlandish assumption to make even if I don’t know them personally. If additional evidence comes out contradicting my conclusions, I am not so tied to them that I wouldn’t revise them in the face of new evidence, but based on the existing evidence I don’t think my conclusions are outlandish or come from nowhere. And it’s not based on 5 minutes of video. It’s based on many thousands of hours of material and following all of their careers for decades.
I love Emma, especially for her to not hold grudges and hate in her heart, she is so right, you have to let it go and move on, and Willoughby (Greg Wise) is so much sexier that Ken!!
I adore Emma! She is way too good for him.
Its sad when couples break up. But its up to them😢
Sounds like it was up to HIM
And thank goodness it all ended happy for all of them, time is a great healer.
Disappointed with the clickbait heading. I was waiting for Emma to dish the dirt but she said nothing, just apparent quotes from her. On second thoughts, I’m glad she said nothing, she moved on to a wonderful man and had the family she desired. I don’t agree Branagh is on the wane, he is still a brilliant actor.
Glad shit worked out for you Emma. If ever a problem arises in your current situation I'm here.
Affair with Helena, what a fool.
She is absolutely amazing!
Well, she got the cute guy from Sense and Sensibility. ❤
Shame on Ken and Helena too!
Shes amazing, beautiful and hilarious.
Lovely video❤
Wow, I wouldn't want to let him KNOW he hurt me. Especially after any time had elapsed.
Emma married up.
I lost a lot of respect for Branagh over this. I despise men who betray.
What about Helena Bonham Carter? She's half the equation in that situation. She could have said no to him.
@@firenze5555 True. But I was thinking of Emma Thompson . That cad broke her heart.
She has a much better husband now!
Helena Bonham Carter's role and function seems to be having affairs with married men.
Emma starred in a film 'The Tall guy " with Jeff Goldblum . It might have been an on screen prediction ;)
She is gorgeous
Do we still need to keep hearing about this?? Must be hard for Greg because he’s her person the Ken thing was ages ago mooooooove on
She is a true star!
Brits have mastered the art of friendly exes.
Love Emma. This split sounds so much like the Ralph Fiennes/Alex Kingston split. The cheating happened with a co-star and while the wife's biological clock was ticking. When a man doesn't want kids, and the woman does, it's never going to work. Branagh and Fiennes still have no kids. No excuse for cheating. But you can't force kids on someone who doesn't want them. Fiennes has been way more public about his desire to not have any children. That is probably why he pursued older women.
Ralph cheated with Francesca Annis, who is 17 years older than him and Alex Kingston. Not sure what you mean by 'wife's biological clock ticking'.
I love Emma Thompson and I also love Helen Bonham-Carter. I blame Ken for the heartbreak of these two wonderful women and phenomenal actresses!
So sad when couples parted ways
I love her!
It’s just like her character in Love Actually 😭😭
Aw, Emma Thompson's performances always hit you right in the feels, just like her character in Love Actually. She's a master of bringing out those emotions! 😭💔
A broken heart is crushing, i know from experience❤😢 X
God she’s fabulous.
This all happened almost thirty years ago....
Actually they are both brilliantly talented people. Life happens to everyone. I am sorry that Emma felt the need to say that her heart was broken if indeed she did. Which I doubt.
Helena Bonham Carter is also a really talented actress.
This is simply gutter press
It's true that both are incredibly talented actresses, each with their own unique strengths. 🌟
I wonder if she
Loved Woody Allen's "Celebrity" where Kenneth's character falls to pieces from chronic cheating
Emma Thompson ❤❤❤
This was a long time ago....
Branngh is in love with himself.
Sounds like they weren’t a match. Best to find who you are to marry.
They weren't married that long, just 6 years. People act like they had been married for decades!
Emma remaigned classy, kind, and thoughtful to everyone that hurt her and look how well she’s done and has done while the others….. ehh not so much. Now I do love Helena’s look and acting I always lose a bit of respect for any woman that has an affair with a married man. Sorry not sorry 🤷🏼♀️
Ken’s puzt.
Emma definitely came out with a much better husband afterwards :) good for her ! glad Branaghs star
Fell , adulterers shouldn’t prosper
Oh, wow, I can't believe she married Willoughby and I didn't know it! 😂❤
One wonders why she's stayed silent about this until now. What changed? Why air your dirty laundry at this late date? She spent years keeping things private and now all of a sudden she wants to trash her ex? In my experience there's plenty of blame to go around when a marriage dissolves and NO ONE is blameless.
Aren’t Helena and Emma friends now? Water under the bridge …
Of course she got over 40 and he replaced her. What s new
She was in her thirties when they divorced.
@@laurellane1721 even worse
They were the golden child of British Cinema?
Brian blessed as the best man? his best man speech must have lasted weeks.
Disappointed Ted in Hellena. Cheaters suck
Emma is a very intelligent women...but when you are in love you are no longer intelligent....😂
So she couldn't see that Kenneth simply an ordinary typical male was, who used to cheat women....
Emma is such a class act, beautiful, talented and kind. Kenneth who?
You're not British, are you ?🤔
@@ninaelsbethgustavsen2131 no, Danish. And I was being sarcastic….😈
I can’t watch him - he is such a self-obsessed actor. It’s always Branagh on screen, not the character.
Don't worry, Em! We've never forgiven him! (Or that untrained piece he took up with!)
I love this woman. I am glad she found her happy ending. A fantastic actress and the true talent in her union with Branagh.
Emma Thompson is truly a remarkable actress, and it's wonderful to see her find happiness! 💖🌟
Ladies! Stop having sex before marriage! Get to know your mate before tying the knot.
