NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Dame Emma Thompson admits she was ‘blind’ to her ex husband Sir Kenneth Branagh’s reported affair with Helena Bonham Carter.
The 56-year-old actress’ six-year marriage to the actor ended in 1995 as a result of the apparent unfaithfulness, which came after Sir Kenneth and Helena appeared together in 1994’s Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.
Emma, who was filming Sense and Sensibility at the time, has said she was ‘humiliated’ by the affair.
She told the New Yorker: ‘I was utterly, utterly blind to the fact that he had relationships with other women on set. What I learned was how easy it is to be blinded by your own desire to deceive yourself.’
