Get ready for a captivating story of love and Hollywood magic! Keeley Hawes and Matthew Macfadyen's red carpet appearance is a rare glimpse into their world.
On a Monday night, Keeley Hawes, a true epitome of support and love, accompanied her husband, Matthew Macfadyen, to the premiere of his upcoming series, 'Death by Lightning.' This Netflix show, set to release soon, showcases Matthew in the role of Charles J. Guiteau, the infamous assassin of President James A. Garfield in 1881. The red carpet was a sight to behold, with Matthew looking dapper in a black suit, a spotted handkerchief, and a striped tie, while Keeley stole the show in a vibrant red plumed dress, resembling a graceful phoenix.
Their joint appearance at the event, held at New York City's Plaza Hotel, was especially meaningful as it came shortly after their 21st wedding anniversary. Keeley celebrated this milestone by sharing heartfelt photos of the couple, including romantic boat rides and glamorous restaurant dates, along with a touching caption: "21 years. No notes. Love you with all my heart."
But here's where it gets controversial... 'Death by Lightning,' a four-part drama, is Matthew's latest project, where he stars opposite the talented Michael Shannon, a two-time Academy Award nominee. The cast also includes Nick Offerman, Betty Gilpin, Bradley Whitford, and Shea Whigham, each bringing their unique charm to the story. This Netflix release is sure to be a hit, but what's the real story behind the couple's enduring love?
Keeley and Matthew's love story began on the set of the popular spy drama, 'Spooks,' back in 2002. They tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in 2004, with Keeley seven months pregnant with their daughter, Maggie. Keeley's previous marriage to writer Spencer McCallum ended before she began her relationship with Matthew, and the former couple remain on friendly terms. Speaking about Matthew's romantic gesture, Keeley shared with The Evening Standard, "Matthew just came out and said 'I love you' in the rain one day. I thought, oh dear, here we go." Keeley also expressed her love for their marriage, saying, "I know Matthew loves being married too."
The couple has worked together on various projects, including the 2023 film, 'Stonehouse,' which narrates the story of MP John Stonehouse's fake death in the 1970s. Reflecting on their on-screen marriage, Keeley humorously remarked, "Our marriage in Stonehouse was pretty toxic!"
So, what do you think? Is their real-life marriage as dramatic as their on-screen portrayals? Let us know your thoughts in the comments! This couple's story is a testament to love and the magic of Hollywood, and we can't wait to see what the future holds for them.
