Celebrity Couples Who Met On Set, And Now They’re In Love

89. Helena Bonham Carter and Kenneth Branagh

Movie: Frankenstein
Location: Hollywood, California
Year: 1995

Another drama-filled relationship is that of actress Helena Bonham Carter and Kenneth Branagh. The pair first ran into each other at a poetry reading on a boat that was cruising down the Thames, but it wasn’t until seven years later that they began an affair.

On the set of Frankenstein, the two fell for one another. Unfortunately, Branagh was still with his ex-wife, actress Emma Thompson, at the time. He split with Thompson a year later. The actress said that her tearful Love Actually scenes were based on her own experiences with Branagh breaking her heart “very badly.” There’s no word on how Bonham Carter and Thompson feel about each other now, but we’re guessing it’s not positive.
