National Enquirer Blind Item

WHICH Oscar-winning actress caught her then-husband in the middle of a steamy gay encounter with his film’s young American co-star? The British couple separated soon after filming ended and divorced two years later. The couple has since remarried, but the young stud has never wed. Who are they?

Emma Thompson and Kenneth Branaugh (sp?)

JoElla said...

Ohh Patty that is a fantab guess!

Someone Said said...

Branagh and Thompson. Stud was Keanu Reeves. Film, Much Ado About Nothing. It was made in 1993, they divorced in 1995.

BrandieMarie said...

yup. i've actually heard this before about these two.

Lioness70 said...

Wait...did they remarry or did marry other people? The way this reads, they got back together, and the third party never married.

Seachica said...

WAH, that guess has me crying....Kenneth Branagh is my intellectual fantasy. And I loved that movie.

Lioness70 said...

did *they* marry other people.

Oops.

Well, hell, that was easy. You know if they presented DB Cooper as a blind item you guys would get it in about 15 seconds.

FrenchGirl said...

since when National Enquirer recycles the old blind items? i think they talk about Emma Thompson/Kenneth Branagh even if for many people, Helena Bonham Carter was the reason of their break-up

Amartel said...

Kate Winslet and Sam Mendes? No idea really, shot in the dark.

RenoBlondee said...

Wow, did not know this about Kenneth and Keanu! I thought he was straight. Huh!

Worstcompanytoworkfor said...

Emma and Kenneth broke up because of Helena Bonham Carter.

Rose said...

I thought HBC broke up Tim Burton's relationship. I guess she is a busy little bee.

Megley said...

Well, that was the official line, that HBC was the cause of the Branagh-Thompson split.

Anonymous said...

Could be Branagh/Thompson/Much Ado About Nothing... but "steamy encounter" cannot be Keanu (he's Canadian, not American).

Someone Said said...

Good catch Dhara.

Sylvia said...

I thought they broke up because Helene Bonham Carter was the cause of their break-up.

Dhara

The United States is a country in North America, just like Canada and Mexico.

ms snarky said...

@Mario, have to disagree. American generally means US, Canadian and Mexican mean just that. I say the young guy is a Yank.

Miss X said...

But does anyone ever refer to Mexicans & Canadians as "Americans"? I thought that was reserved for those from the United States of America?

Rose said...

I don't think anyone refers to Canada and Mexico as Americans. If anything they'd be North Americans.

jen said...

Canadians never, EVER refer to ourselves as American. EVER. North American, sure. Not American. If the blind says the actor is American, he's from the U.S.

biteme said...

Actually, Keanu was born in Beirut.

Maja With a J said...

Well, now I have to tell you my favourite joke about Canadians! It works a lot better when spoken, obviously.

"What is Canada's most popular wine?"

"I'M NOOOOT AMEEEEERICAAAAANNN, I'M CANAAAAADIAAAAAAN".

Jolene Jolene said...

HAHAHA Maja!

But jen, excellent emphasis on the fact that you're NOT AMERICAN. We get it.

MadLyb said...

I'm going with the first guess.

J-Mo said...

I cannot NOT say this. I am not American and I would only say I'm North American on a grade 3 quiz. I am Canadian.

ms snarky said...

Let's not forget, Much Ado About Nothing is not the only film KB made that year (also I think we should open it up to 1992 and 1994), nor is Keanu the only young actor in that film. That guy from House is in it, Robert Sean Leonard. But I think he's married.

GoGo said...

Robert Sean Leonard!!!! NOOOOOOO!!!!!
I'd rather Keanu (who I always thought was...)

Thanks, Jolene Jolene!

Selock said...

I like the Thompson & Branagh guess...their divorce was so sudden and shocking (I was very into them at the time)!

I can see the Robert Sean Leonard thing, too.
