Despite having a knack for romantic comedies, Emma Thompson is not a big believer in "romantic love." The "Love Actually" star discussed her stance on romance on the Radio Times Podcast Tuesday. "It’s incredibly philosophically calming and helpful and uplifting to remember that romantic love is a myth and actually quite dangerous.
And we do have to take it with a massive pinch of salt," Thompson said. She continued, "It’s led us down so many stupid garden paths, and we can’t think sensibly about love anymore.To think sensibly about love and the way in which it can grow is essential if we’re going to live long lives because long-term relationships are hugely difficult and complicated." Thompson has been married to British actor and producer Greg Wise since 2003, and the couple have two children.
She was also married to Kenneth Branagh from 1989 to 1995, but they divorced after she discovered he was having an affair with his "Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein" co-star, Helena Bonham Carter. "I was utterly, utterly blind to the fact that he had relationships with other women on set," Thompson said of the situation in an interview last November.
