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.
@@evalynnchristiansen9430 it’s meant to be a joke. I’ll break it down for you, in case you’re neurodivergent. Mr. Carson and Dolores Umbridge are fictional characters played by the actors Jim Carter and Imelda Staunton, respectively. The fictional characters, Mr. Carson and Dolores Umbridge inhabit different fictional universes, ones that are separate and distinct from one another whereas the actors inhabit this timeline and this present reality. They are married in real life, a fact of which I and many other people were previously unaware. The joke, or perhaps more accurately, small moment of amusement, comes from flipping the script and briefly imagining the two fictional characters as husband and wife, the same as the real life actors who played them. Speculation about the potential interactions between two such widely divergent characters becomes a momentary source of mirth. It’s not that deep and not meant to be taken seriously.
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.
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 😊
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.
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!
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.
l first saw her in the movie "Vera" and have followed her career since then. She and her husband are great actors and l am happy that they found each other.
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 🥲
Trying to be an actor when you are the daughter of such incredible and successful actors is very brave and yet daunting. Judi Dench's daughter is a prime example of that. Imelda loves her daughter, wishes her success and happiness and I thought her dedication to her in her speech was very loving, kind and what a good Mother would do.
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.
I had to look up the definition of "fascicle" and found it means "a cluster of flowers or leaves, such as the bundles of the thin leaves (or needles) of pines · A discrete bundle of vascular tissue ..." Why can't people realize The Crown was not a documentary - it was a fictional drama. How on Earth can you lose respect for someone who is just doing their job and doing it extremely well?
@@evalynnchristiansen9430 the word I was going for was ‘farcicle’. Look that one up why don’t you. Auto correct is a niusance at times. I have enjoyed the acting from this couple in the past but this shows a lack of integrity. Selling their talent for huge money to appear in a badly written farce is low. In television interviews Imelda Staunton stated she did it because they were offering huge amounts of money. Another idol with feet of clay.
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?
@@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.

It's lovely to hear that you enjoyed our video 💜
Thank you for sharing this fun fact with us
OMYGOSH, I never realized these two were married. Beautiful couple
The first film I remember seeing Imelda Staunton in was Sense & Sensibilty and she was so funny!
They are not a Hollywood couple, they live and work in the UK. Both excellent actors
I never knew Mr. Carson and Dolores Umbridge are married!! 🤯 😂 ❤️
Neither did I!!!! 🤨
They're not. But Jim and Imelda are.

@@amiek9226 Thank you for my morning laughter.
I am STUNNED! I was today years old when I learned that these two were married! 😱
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 🥰
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.
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.
@@emb74 Amen!
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
@@danaso2567 Good point. Once again, they seem to be in the business for the *work*. not the glory.
Stardom can’t be sought, it’s earned, it’s that simple!
So nice to learn about this lovely family. Forty more years to them!
That was fun. Such a lovely pair. They just happen to be great actors!
Both are amazing actors. Only Great Britain produces such talent.❤❤❤❤❤
Delightful people!
Whatever part they play on screen they always steal a scene.
A true power couple.
😍😁
i love me some Imedla Staunton !! she is so versatil and a great actress !
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 😊

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 😊
It explains a lot as to why they are so great at their work.
these two are gold together ! so beautiful to see !
Such a great couple - so down to earth and amusing.
They're little scene together in the 2nd Downtown Abbey movie is the cutest!
Couldn't agree more. They're so sweet 🥰
Think she's so nice..and i was just mad about Downtown's butler..he played that character sò wonderfull..Beautifull couple🤗💜
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!
She really is such an incredibly talented actress!
She did have an Oscar nomination for that great performance.
She is fantastic on that film.
Both are fabulous
Sweet story. God bless them 🙏
Beautiful, fun and lucky to have found each other! Great Actors.
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.
Great love story, ❤❤❤❤❤🎉
l first saw her in the movie "Vera" and have followed her career since then. She and her husband are great actors and l am happy that they found each other.
I miss Downton Abbey and the cast.
So cool that all three of them are in huge followings shows/movies
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?
Great actors, both of them.
I love watching downtown Abby I watch it every day fantastic acting 👍👍👍
Love them both.
Love that they met doing the quintessential american musical "Guys & Dolls."
Aww, they’re such a cute and normal couple.
Amazing actors and seem like lovely people as well
Such a lovely couple

Imelda and jim are sweet couple 🙂
We love them so much 😍
The Best in the Business!!
Imelda Staunton was so cool in Finding your feet.
Beautiful couple and amazing talent
❤️ his voice. My favourite butler….,,
Oh! I love the beard!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ bless them
❤❤❤ Love them both.🎉🎉🎉
We do too Shao! Aren't they great together?
Jim Carter looks and speaks just like my father in law 😂😂😂
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
Everyone should see Vera drake.
I'm going to try to find it. Even buy it if I have to because I must see it.
Tell me you’re trying to plug your daughter’s career without telling me you’re trying to plug your daughter’s career. That award acceptance speech. 😂

Lovely people ☘
Remember Imelda on TV working for Doctor and his son office , v comedy pragramme, brilliant you were beautiful. 1974/8 think so
They put their marriage and family first, then their careers, so they are happy
So funny to think of the guy who plays Mr Carson as a hippy.
Well done 👏👏🙏💕
They are such a cute looking couple
I didn’t know this !! ❤❤
Jim, love the beard, it suits you sir!
Beautiful 🥰
Rather have heard them speak not commentator
Jim and Imelda are not a "Hollywood" couple. They have their priorities straight.
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.
Hate the stock footage… just show the couple
❤
Lost some respect for Imelda after she appeared in The Crown ridiculous programme, also Bridgerton that tries to reinvent history. Shame!
I had to look up the definition of "fascicle" and found it means "a cluster of flowers or leaves, such as the bundles of the thin leaves (or needles) of pines · A discrete bundle of vascular tissue ..."

I've been a Jim Carter fan from way back. Watch a fun film with him in a comedic role. Watch Top Secret!
He's also a hoot playing an ogre in Ella Enchanted.
