Married to a sex symbol: what the wives of Hollywood's hottest men look like

How to fall in love with a recognized handsome man, whom thousands of sexy women around the world want? No, it is not necessary to be a hot seductress, because for love — true love — completely different qualities are important. We found out why famous actors chose ordinary women with ordinary appearance as companions.

Hugh Jackman and Deborra-lEe Furness have been together for over 20 years. The actors got married in 1996, and, according to Deborra-Lee, she was not afraid of the age of the young groom. As the actress admits, he was much wiser and more thoughtful than her, and she herself did not feel her years.

The couple has no biological children: after two miscarriages, the couple adopted a newborn boy, Oscar (in 2000), and five years later adopted baby Ava Eliot. Hugh Jackman calls his wife the best mom in the world and is happy to reveal the secret of a successful marriage. As the actor says, he and his wife do not part for more than two weeks and make all important decisions together. Furness herself knows perfectly well that behind their backs, marriage is considered a misalliance, but blames it on envy.

Actress, journalist, TV presenter and writer Keely Shay Smith became the second wife of Pierce Brosnan. The actor married her in 2001, 10 years after the death of his first wife Cassandra Harris, who suffered from ovarian cancer.

Keely Shay is far from the "Bond girl" format. The woman has curvy forms, which, however, she does not hesitate to demonstrate: paparazzi now and then catch Smith swimming topless off the coast of Hawaii, where the couple has their own home.

According to Brosnan, he is most attracted to his wife... her independence! As the actor assures, he understands perfectly well that his beloved can do without him, and therefore does everything so that he can be useful to his wife and she did not want to part.

Sarah-Jane Fenton, formerly quite a successful British actress, married Owen in 1995. The future spouses met while playing in the student play "Romeo and Juliet", and have not parted since.

Sarah-Jane has left her career and is raising her daughters Hannah and Eva, but for the actor, this modest housewife is the cutest of all his sexy shooting partners.

Half French, half Senegalese Karin Sylla has worked as a model in the past. It was at a fashion show that her future husband saw her. He fell in love with Karin at first sight, and after an active and stormy courtship, an offer followed. Karin agreed, but soon ... returned the ring! It turns out that she cheated on her fiance with one of her closest friends, actor Gerard Depardieu.

In 1992, Depardieu and Karin had a daughter, Roxanne. When the fatal Karin left Depardieu because of his constant infidelities, Vincent Perez again confessed his love to her and asked to be with him. This time, Cilla didn't make a mistake. Now the couple are raising four children: Iman, twin boys Pablo and Tess and the eldest Roxanne.

Benedict Cumberbatch and Sophie Hunter starred together in the British drama "Burlesque Tales" directed by Susan Luciani in 2009. True, love at first sight did not happen. The guys have been communicating for a long time as colleagues and good friends, and the romance began only in 2014. The actors got married at the beginning of 2015 — on Valentine's Day. The bride was already in position and gave birth to a son on June 13.

Sophie graduated from Oxford, studied theater arts in In Paris, she sings and enjoys tennis.
