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 also liked her in The name of the father.

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

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.

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!

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

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

Idk, I prefer a broken heart to, for example: disability, poverty, war or death (to name a few).

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.

Jane posed the title not as a question, using "or" but as two virtues and comparing and contrasting them hence "Sense and Sensibility"

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! ]

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.

Sounds like it was up to HIM

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.

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.

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'.

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! 😭💔

It's true that both are incredibly talented actresses, each with their own unique strengths. 🌟

Emma Thompson is truly a remarkable actress, and it's wonderful to see her find happiness! 💖🌟

She was in her thirties when they divorced.
