[NationalEnquirer] 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?
Sam Mendes and Kate Winslet?
Love this guess, chick – the movie would be Revolutionary Road, in which Mendes directed Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio. Kate & Sam split shortly after that. Is Leo a “young stud” at 37 though?
Whoops – just realized I missed the “remarried” part
Emma Thompson and Kenneth Branagh
And the young stud is Keanu Reeves. The film was 1993′s Much Ado About Nothing. Their divorce was finalized in 1995.
Yep. Agree.
YES YES YES AND YES!!!!!!!
I would love to have seen this! Although, considering Branagh’s many relationships and marriages with women, I hope he’s Bi and not just closeted. Because if closeted: that’s just sad. And I like Branagh. Gay rumors have swirled around Keanu. And I have to say, I really admire how Keanu plays the fame game by not playing it. Who knows what he is?
The timeline fits. He directed Much Ado About Nothing in 1993, they divorced in 1995, both have remarried, and she has an Oscar.
This would make the young co-star Keanu Reeves. He is technically an American citizen, never married.
Keanu Reeves is not an American citizen he is a Canadian citizen born in Lebanon. If this is Kenneth Branagh during Much Ado maybe the young guy was Robert Sean Leonard. He was in that movie and is American
Robert Sean Leonard is married
Keanu’s father is a Hawaii-born American citizen, which makes Keanu American as well as Canadian. The blind says “American co-star”, not “American born”, so technically Keanu does fit this blind, and as you can see by the guesses, many people think of him as American. lol
Keanu identifies as Canadian citizen, although he’s entitled to American citizenship because of his father. He was born in Beirut. He’s also eligible for British citizenship. Because Keanu hates his father and identifies as Canadian, I don’t buy it.
I think you three have it: Emma Thompson and Kenneth Branagh.
It says the award winning… Emma Thompson won her Oscar in 1992, the movie Much Ado About Nothing was in 1993. And in interviews about her divorce she talks about it leaving her in pieces and severely depressed. So going from married, working together on a movie to splitting right after and divorcing….I think the story fits.
I also think the “then-husband” means she is now married to someone else (as in then-husband and now-husband). And not, although it may sound like it, they separated, divorced and then remarried each other.
Should have clarified my “you three have it” as my nod to Fotobandi, Shelaur22 and FzFzFz!!!
You mean I might have actually guessed one right after so many tries?
a true foto finish!
Yep! Think you nailed it. Good work.
Agree with this guess
100% on board with this guess. They’re the first couple that popped into my head.
Yes, makes sense especially since Kenneth and Emma are friendly and still work together. I always found their relationship faciniating especially how Kenneth referred to Emma as one of his Muse’s and how electric she is on screen when he directs her.
ahmygod….i would very much liked to have seen that.
Good guess.
He cheated on Emma with Helena Bonhem Carter. It was well documented at the time.
since he has remarried (more than likely to a lady), the blind makes it seem like the husband might have been bi, so who’s to say Helena isn’t the only person Kenneth cheated on Emma with?
What an excellent guess!
Agree. And loved them both in “Dead Again.”
Did Kate Winslet and Sam Mendes ever get divorced? I think it is them but after Revolutionary Road he directed Away We Go. I have a difficult time believing that John Krasinski likes men yet he does have a close relationship with George Clooney. I’m stumped if it’s not Kate and Sam.
Emma Thompson and Kenneth Branagh.
You got it! I did my research when I saw this blind item and came to the same conclusion. If you check wiki they have reeves as an American citizen and never married.
Emma re married after she got divorce and so did Kenneth… Living Keanu single
Them three did the movie together. I’m 100% sure it’s them
@ButterflyLove – FTW!
Kate and Sam are divorced and not remarried.
The key here is “the couple has since remarried.” To each other? Or to other people. That would leave Kate Winslet out, as she hasn’t remarried.
Rachel Weisz and Darren Aronofsky
Oh rats, he’s American.
and Rachel Weisz and Darren Aronofsky were never married to each other.
Oh wow, then that was a really bad guess!
Emma Thompson, Kenneth Branagh and Robert Sean Leonard. First post ever!
Hi SMS! Love, BG
Can’t be Leonard. He is married. The “young stud” never has.
It’s definitely not Kate & Sam as neither is remarried. I like Emma Thompson & Kenneth Branagh for this.
rachel weisz and daniel craig (he was the 007 that was at the parking lot of a gay night club years ago)
??? They just got married a few months ago and are still together.
Gotta be Emma & Kenneth & now-hermit Keanu.
Keanu is gay?
EVERYONE in Hollywood is gay
Can’t be Emma and Kenneth. She divorced him because he was sleeping with Helena Bonham Carter, whom he remained involved with for several years until they split in 1997.
I agree with silimom, there is no way it can be Emma & Kenneth, Emma Thompson has thanked Keanu Reeves in her BAFTA acceptance speech for Much Ado About Nothing for “getting undressed in front of her”,lol! I don’t know any women who would be thanking a home-wrecker, do you?
Besides according to insider info at the set, Keanu was quite smitten with young Kate Beckinsale who was lovey-dovey with Robert Sean Leonard who was playing her love-interest Claudio, by the way I could totally see Keanu going after the English beauty, his mom is English, he is obsessed about Shakespeare and he is still friends with the most-pompous Amanda de Cadenet out of his sheer fascination with British
