Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein – Kenneth Branagh

Kenneth Branagh was the director and tar of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. At the time, he made up a power couple with Emma Thompson. They were one of the most famous couples in British cinema at the time. Production on the movie started five years into their marriage. However, he was unable to look past his attraction to Helena Bonham Carter. His wife divorced him as soon as the affair came to light. However, the two women have since cleared the air. Thompson shared, “As Mike Nicholls [the film and theatre director] once said, and I’ve picked it up because I think it’s such a wonderful phrase – all blood under the bridge. You can’t hold on to anything like that. I think… pfft… It’s pointless. I haven’t got the energy for it. Helena and I made our peace years and years ago.”

Green Lantern – Ryan Reynolds

They might be one of the most beloved couples in Hollywood right now, but Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively are not exactly forthcoming about when their relationship began. However, it looks like they got to know each other better while working on Green Lantern. They were spotted in New York City at the time. We can only guess that their friendship blossomed into something else and ended their relationships. Back then, Lively was still with fellow Gossip Girl alum Penn Badgely. On the other hand, Reynolds split up with his then-wife, Scarlett Johansson. In 2012, they finally tied the knot.
