I love these two fantastic actors. So great to hear their love story! Fun fact - they live just a few doors down from their friends, another famous and famously long term couple: Emma Thompson and Greg Wise.

It's lovely to hear that you enjoyed our video 💜 Thank you for sharing this fun fact with us

I never knew Mr. Carson and Dolores Umbridge are married!! 🤯 😂 ❤️

[@francescathomas3502]

Neither did I!!!! 🤨

L🥰VE them as individual actors… what a treat to know they’re a couple and their daughter too. ✨❤️‍🔥✨Bless ‘‘em all 🙏🏽✨❤️‍🔥✨💕💞

We love them too. They seem to be so happy together 🥰

[@vernelledouglas1801]

So nice to learn about this lovely family. Forty more years to them!

[@bojest5863]

The first film I remember seeing Imelda Staunton in was Sense & Sensibilty and she was so funny!

[@madelainepetrin1430]

Both are amazing actors. Only Great Britain produces such talent.❤❤❤❤❤

[@carolking6355]

What an adorable couple. God bless them for making so many people happy. Thank you for just one to say I am 80 now but you have both given me such joy. Thank you. Might I add my ancestors in Canterbury New Zealand were great cricketers, Jim the Cresswell.

[@RumourJuice]

It's always fascinating to learn about family history and the achievements of our ancestors. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and history with us 😊

[@lesleyanne5341]

They are not a Hollywood couple, they live and work in the UK. Both excellent actors

[@lynnbullard9715]

That was fun. Such a lovely pair. They just happen to be great actors!

[@merrylmarsh9037]

Delightful people! Whatever part they play on screen they always steal a scene. A true power couple. 😍😁

[@monikel]

Just finished watching Vera Drake film. Stunning brilliant this lady as main character. The film itself was one of a kind to keep me glued in front of the screen from beginning to the end. Excellent!

[@RumourJuice]

She really is such an incredibly talented actress!

[@anastasiabeaverhausen8220]

She did have an Oscar nomination for that great performance.

[@sugarkane4830]

She is fantastic on that film.

[@Psalm-bo9ml]

How wonderful to see two amazingly well grounded individuals....who use technology to a minimum. The world would be a better place with more Imelda's and Jim's. Thank God for these two people and their beautiful daughter 😊

[@judyveness7581]

Such a great couple - so down to earth and amusing.

[@Bunefoo401]

OMYGOSH, I never realized these two were married. Beautiful couple

[@eowyn1964]

Oh, bless English actors. They seem to approach their work as work, not a chance to be a Hollywood star. They take their work seriously, but not themselves seriously.

[@emb74]

I’ve always been amazed to see “famous” British stars in he smallest roles. They don’t seem to have huge egos and just like to work.

[@eowyn1964]

@@emb74 Amen!

[@danaso2567]

I also like the fact that british and european actors seem to age like normal people, I recently notice the difference with actors I liked as a kid

[@eowyn1964]

@@danaso2567 Good point. Once again, they seem to be in the business for the *work*. not the glory.

[@susanlane8803]

Stardom can’t be sought, it’s earned, it’s that simple!

[@pennyc11]

It explains a lot as to why they are so great at their work.

[@Cooksongrl]

They're little scene together in the 2nd Downtown Abbey movie is the cutest!

[@RumourJuice]

Couldn't agree more. They're so sweet 🥰

[@ares6953]

i love me some Imedla Staunton !! she is so versatil and a great actress !

[@carolking6355]

How wonderful. They have both given me great joy. I appreciate the hard work you do in your acting in your movies. I am 80 and stuck in bed. I loved all the earlier but just at 80 and alone enjoy even more. In Canterbury New Zealand my late cousins were great cricketers it gave me a thrill to know you were too also a cricketer even though you were in England and I am New Zealand how it. gave me a thrill.

[@ares6953]

these two are gold together ! so beautiful to see !

[@vivianking8143]

I enjoy this couple in all of the films, series I have seen them in. Just delightful. Thanks for this video. In Joy

I really admire these 2. Great actors and It seems great people. I would like to sit and talk with them awhile. Please carry on acting.

[@rallytonight8491]

I am STUNNED! I was today years old when I learned that these two were married! 😱

[@WiseAilbhean]

Rewatching Downton Abbey, I realized that Jim Carter can totally be Snape or Snape’s dad in the Harry Potter movies 😂. Even his voice makes me think of Alan Rickman 🥲

[@Teaally1913]

Beautiful, fun and lucky to have found each other! Great Actors.

[@tabby5228]

Aww, they’re such a cute and normal couple.

[@StephanieMT]

So cool that all three of them are in huge followings shows/movies

[@susanyates4233]

Thank you for sharing this. They are amazing. Imelda's Vera Drake is wonderful, and as for Jim's Mr Carson, what can I say?

[@anastasiabeaverhausen8220]

Love that they met doing the quintessential american musical "Guys & Dolls."

We do too Shao! Aren't they great together?

So funny to think of the guy who plays Mr Carson as a hippy.

He married Umbridge?? I'm kidding, they seem so lovely together. I would love to have tea with them, even though I'm American and a coffee-drinker

[@patricebest545]

Rather have heard them speak not commentator

[@griffin2263]

Hate the stock footage… just show the couple

[@anastasiabeaverhausen8220]

Bone to pick: they are NOT Hollywood. They are English. All film & TV is not under the rubric of "Hollywood." We americans love brit tv and film precisely because they are not slick Hollywood product. Yes, some brit actors are also Hollywood stars when they make successful films here.

[@jeantillotson4091]

Lost some respect for Imelda after she appeared in The Crown. Fascicle programme, also Bridgerton that tries to reinvent history. Shame!

[@ausbrum]

What a wise choice! If only she had made this decision 30 years ago, we would have avoided 30 years of really dire performances. nd why would anyone WANT to be associated with Downturd Abbey?

[@JacQues58]

I've been a Jim Carter fan from way back. Watch a fun film with him in a comedic role. Watch Top Secret!

[@anastasiabeaverhausen8220]

He's also a hoot playing an ogre in Ella Enchanted.

[@alhambralions5985]

@@anastasiabeaverhausen8220 Jim is also great as head of a Gipsy clan in The Golden Compass. Both of them are in the BBC short series Cranford. Not all comedic roles, but they show their versatility.
