5. Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson
Okay, fine, this one is a cheat, because the former British power couple met on the set of a mini-series in which they both acted. Neither one directed. In the years after they got together, the two did collaborate on several films that Branagh directed, and Thompson ran away with — that is, until 1995, when Branagh cheated on Emma Thompson (why?!) with Helena Bonham Carter (double why?!). Always one to make lemonade, Thompson used that heartache to inform one of her most memorable parts, as a housewife who learns that her husband is fooling around with his secretary in 2003’s Love, Actually.
