In this way, the two tacitly interacted, and on the third day of the relationship, Kate made up her mind to marry Andrew, it seems that she really has a sharp heart, 21 days later, the boyfriend also proposed to her, and this process, only 24 days, but they did not soon get married, but waited until December 29 of the following year, officially entered the palace of marriage.
Flash marriages generally come and go quickly, but the two have been in love for more than 20 years, until now, they are still like a little couple who have just fallen in love, which is enviable.
In the fourth year of their marriage, Kate gave birth to her eldest son, and three years later, her second son was born. In April 2008, Kate gave birth to her third son in London. She loves children, and after giving birth to her eldest son, she is very eager to adopt a child, she said: "We have enough space, enough love, and lucky to have a life to give, so it doesn't matter whether we are biological or not." ”
So, in March 2015, they adopted another baby girl, and at this point, the family of 6 people was officially established.
In order to better spend time with her family, Kate also began to reduce the time she spent at work and was able to go out for walks with her children on weekends. She once said that children were everything to her.
Kate, husband and children
Her happiest day so far has been a weekend out with her children or a school event for them.
When the children are older, Kate will take them out to work, and sometimes, the father is also present, with the children at her film premiere, the media described the scene of the family gathering to cheer up Kate, warm and beautiful.
Despite the affection, the most discussed thing in the couple is Kate's husband's appearance and his less prominent talent.
It is reported that after their love affair was exposed, there were constantly melon-eating masses saying that Andrew looked ordinary, not only could not get involved with handsome men, but also could not even reach the appearance of ordinary men, as for talent, it was not a famous director, nor did he act in many film and television works.
In this regard, the two "blocked" the mouths of everyone with long-term companionship, and Kate also said that her husband had helped her a lot, even including communication skills with others.
She said that she was actually a very introverted person, if she walked into a space, she would not know what to say to the people around her, but her husband told her that there was no need to be afraid, just open her mouth, and then everything would be very natural.
It sounds simple, the focus is still on how to do it, and after Kate tried, she really gained a lot of friends, so she is very grateful to her husband, teaching her how to "talk", how to be understood by everyone, and then love her more.
Kate also mentioned that at any time, whether she won an award or not, her husband was as far as her eye could see, which made her feel at ease and felt that everything was worth it.
All in all, this marriage makes her cherished incomparably, and she does not care about the opinions of others.
Love for people, for the cause, but also to the end.
Fame experience
Kate was born on 14 May 1969 in the suburbs of Melbourne, Australia, to a father who was a retired naval officer, a teacher to a mother, an older brother to a programmer, and a younger sister who designed theater.
According to the data, Kate has always attended girls' high school. From middle school, she fell in love with drama and became a member of the school's drama troupe.
Kate as a young man
At the age of 18, she traveled from Europe to Egypt, where she met a crew member who introduced her to a group performance in an Egyptian film, which was her first appearance on screen.
In 1992, Kate graduated from the Australian National Academy of Arts and Drama and then performed in various plays, and the following year, Kate was nominated for best newcomer by the Sydney Theatre Critics Committee for her role in the stage play "Oleanna", but at the same time, she also won the Best Actress Award from the Australian film and television industry.

Excellent results made her burst into flames overnight.
It was her first award, but not the last, and there was an adjective called "Winning awards and getting soft hands," a word that was tailored for Kate, and at the same time, she extended her tentacles to television and film.
In 1998, Kate starred in the film "Elizabeth", which made her into the international film scene, in which she played the red-haired Queen of England. She has never starred in a biographical film.

She did her homework, lost weight, bleached eyelashes, eyebrows and shaved the hair on the front half of her head, she said: "For the role I want to play, I never hesitate in the face value. ”
In the end, she played the most famous Queen Elizabeth in British history, and some fans still mention Kate herself, and they can still remember her domineering look and unfathomable eyes when she played the queen. For this role, she was also nominated for a Golden Globe Award, and although she did not win the award in the end, she was satisfied, saying that Ben San's self was "finally out of the blue".
Perhaps it was playing the Queen of England that allowed the director in the circle to see the plastic side of Kate, so she successfully became the "Elf Queen" in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, and it was also this commercial and storytelling film that made her famous all over the world. Some media said: "The most beautiful queen, said Kate."
Starting from The Lord of the Rings, Kate's career focus slowly shifted from Australia to abroad. But she is not willing to be the goddess vase in the movie, in 2002, when she played the female secretary who avenged her family in "Rush to Heaven", she did not hesitate to shave a beautiful blond hair into a short hair close to the bald head, and this fearless act also made her have one more favorite name - the queen of punk.

Although the film is very successful, but people pay more attention to her face without dead angles, some people say that even if she shaves her head, the goddess is still beautiful and moving, and can see her heroism through her acting skills, which can be described as a talented and beautiful strange woman.
Three years later, she and filmed Leonardo in a film Called The Flyer, in which she played the American national treasure actress Catherine Hepburn.

It is reported that the latter has been nominated for the Oscar for Best Actress for 12 consecutive times, of which four consecutive times won the laurel, this record, so far no one has surpassed, so Catherine has also been rated as the greatest actress by American film critics.
This pivotal character is a "hot potato" for any actor who plays her.
But Kate's acting skills not only recreated this classic beauty to everyone, but also proved to both professionals in the film and television industry and film fans that she wants to be an actress.

In the end, for this beautiful role, she won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.
After winning the Oscar, Kate's acting path embarked on a hanging route, working with people from Brad Pitt in "The Strange Affair of Benjamin Button" to the big director Spielberg, and then george Clooney, who was still the diamond king.

Among them, the film he cooperated with Brand also won 13 Oscar awards. Some media said that although the film tells a very strange story, it is enough to cause people to explore and think about life, so it can also be regarded as a classic.
Success in Hollywood didn't trap Kate in Hollywood. She has been artistic director at the Sydney Theatre since 2007, focusing her work on Australia, during which time she has starred in many classic plays. As for working outside of Australia, she only takes on some films that don't have a long shooting period.
It wasn't until 2013 that she returned to the film world and swept almost all of the best actress awards that year's awards season with the role of the low, hysterical lady in "Blue Jasmine". It is reported that she is also the only actor in Australia to win two Oscars.
Something will come
The seemingly smooth acting career is actually not unrelated to her intelligence and good choice.
In an interview, she said that the Oscars are just a bunch of "broken things" for her, and acting is her original intention.
She said: "I always feel that I am incomplete, like a puzzle, there are always a few pieces missing, and performance can let me find the missing fragments of my life." 」 ”
In addition, she claims that she is very good at "coming to things", especially in the field of acting, and any movement of the characters must be controlled by her.
The most typical example is "Blue Jasmine". At that time, director Woody Allen sent her the script and attached a handwritten letter that read: "If you don't want to act, just return the script as it is." ”
But she didn't want to be "passive", so she took the invitation to the whole movie with a sense of challenge.
Although the reason for participating in the film is indeed absurd, it is undeniable that the actress who "went all the way to black" did go farther and farther down the actor's road.
end
This year, Kate is 53 years old, more than half a hundred years old, should have enjoyed her life with peace of mind, but she is still "rebellious" and insists on being active on the big screen.
She said: "As long as one person still watches my work, I will continue to act." "I wish this actress, who has an opinion and insists on her own ideas, to continue to work hard and create brilliance again."
