“Helena and I have made peace”: Harry Potter star forgave Helena Bonham Carter for her affair with her husband and the destruction of their marriage

Helena Bonham Carter is a name synonymous with eccentricity, daring outfits and a penchant for quirky roles. But her personal life has been no less dramatic, full of twists and turns. A particularly colourful chapter began in 1994 when she became romantically involved with Kenneth Branagh on the set of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.

But wait… this was a classic love triangle. Well, Branagh was married to Emma Thompson at the time. The affair not only ended in a major emotional upheaval for the Harry Potter actress, but also led to the eventual end of her marriage in 1995.

Thompson, however, who is an extraordinary bon vivant, later stated in a 2013 interview that she is no longer interested in reliving old conflicts, as she has long since made peace with Bonham Carter.
