Inside The Assassin star Keeley Hawes' love story with famous husband she met on set
The Assassin star Keeley Hawes has an equally famous husband, whom she met in one of her most iconic TV roles. The Assassin star Keeley Hawes, is already garnering acclaim for her portrayal of Julie in the new six-part thriller on Prime Video. She shares the screen with The Good Doctor's Freddie Highmore, who plays her son in this high-octane action drama. Keeley is one of the most prominent British actresses gracing our television screens today, with notable roles in blockbuster shows such as Ashes to Ashes, Line of Duty, Bodyguard, The Durrells and It's A Sin. Her recent appearances include the BBC period drama Miss Austen and Netflix's Scoop. However, fans may not be aware that Keeley's husband is equally renowned, boasting a number of iconic roles across both film and television. Who is Keeley Hawes' husband? Keeley Hawes is wedded to fellow actor Matthew MacFadyen, with the couple exchanging vows in 2004. The power duo have two children together, Maggie and Ralph, and also jointly parent Keeley's son Myles from her previous marriage, reports the Express. Matthew is best recognised for his role as Tom Wambsgans in HBO's Succession and Mr Darcy in the 2005 film Pride and Prejudice, where he starred alongside Keira Knightley. His other credits encompass the Marvel film Deadpool and Wolverine, the 2021 film Operation Mincemeat, and the television series Ripper Street. Keeley and Matthew recently shared the screen in ITV's Stonehouse, a drama inspired by the true story of a British politician who staged his own death. How did Keeley Hawes and Matthew MacFadyen meet? Keeley Hawes and Matthew MacFadyen first crossed paths in 2002 when they were both cast in the popular BBC spy drama, Spooks. Matthew graced the screen in 19 episodes as Tom Quinn, while Keeley shone in 22 episodes as Zoe Reynolds. Back then, Keeley was wed to cartoonist Spencer McCallum, but their marriage ended in divorce in 2004, just a few months before she tied the knot with her co-star Matthew. Although Keeley has always said she and Matthew didn't begin a relationship until her previous marriage was over, she's since confessed that the set of the show was where they fell in love. Speaking in a 2022 Vanity Fair interview, she disclosed: "Matthew just came straight out with it and said 'I love you' in the rain one day. I thought, 'Oh dear, here we go.'" Post-divorce, Keeley and her former husband Spencer have kept things amicable, co-parenting their now-grown-up son Myles. What is Keeley Hawes' new series The Assassin about? The official IMDb synopsis for The Assassin reads: 'A retired assassin reunites with her estranged son, but her dangerous past catches up with them, forcing them to go on the run together while uncovering a dark conspiracy that threatens their relationship.' Prime Video has also given a longer description, which reads: 'Set against the idyllic backdrop of a remote Greek island, the images see retired assassin Julie (Keeley Hawes) and her estranged son Edward (Freddie Highmore) as they are forced to work together in a fight for survival. 'Amid questions around Edward's paternity and Julie's dangerous past catching up with her, the pair are forced to flee the island and go on the run together.'

The Assassin's Freddie Highmore teases thrilling Prime Video role he says 'I'm back home'
The Good Doctor star Freddie Highmore has returned to TV screens in Prime Video's latest thriller series The Assassin The Assassin star Freddie Highmore teased his thrilling Prime Video role as he said, "I'm back home". The 33-year-old star, who began his acting journey as a child with roles in Finding Neverland, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Arthur and the Invisibles, and The Spiderwick Chronicles, has made quite the impression over the years. As an adult, Freddie became widely recognised for his portrayal of Norman Bates in the horror series Bates Motel. His most recent acclaim came from playing Dr Shaun Murphy in the ABC drama series The Good Doctor, which concluded its run in 2024. Now, Freddie is captivating audiences in Prime Video's new edge-of-your-seat thriller series, The Assassin, which dropped in its entirety on the platform today (Friday, July 25). The six-part series, which comes from The Tourist writers Harry and Jack Williams, centres around a retired assassin named Julie (Keeley Hawes), who has spent her retirement years on a picturesque Greek island, reports the Express. However, the tranquillity soon turns to turmoil when her estranged son Edward, portrayed by Freddie, arrives seeking answers about his father, dragging Julie's perilous history back into the spotlight. The mother and son are then thrust into a harrowing journey across Europe, with their already strained relationship being pushed to breaking point as they struggle to stay alive. Alongside Keeley and Freddie, the cast also includes Shalom Brune-Franklin, Devon Terrell, Gina Gershon, Jack Davenport, Alan Dale, Richard Dormer, and David Dencik. In a conversation with Reach and other media outlets before the show's launch, Freddie delved into the complex backstory of his character Edward, shedding light on how it shapes his actions within the story. "He's just a good person who has made a series of bad mistakes," he shared. "Looking back, he would have done things differently, but he can't change that and so is getting himself into a messier and messier and more complicated situation, and he thinks about that a lot." The actor further explained his immediate attraction to the "inherent Britishness" of the series, particularly after spending years working in the US. "Compared to other things, I feel certainly, even if they don't have the most healthy relationship, Edward and Julie, it's probably better than Norman and his mother on Bates Motel. Although who knows what happens over the course of the show?" he said. "To me, it feels like a wonderful, blissful relationship that the two of them have. To me, the appeal, as well, in contrast to the things that I've done more recently in television, is something to celebrate the Britishness of it. "The Britishness of the humour and the understated humour. Often shows today are thought of in an international way and have to work internationally, and although this does, it's lovely that it's lent into an inherent Britishness of Edward and Julie." Freddie continued: "That dynamic feels very familiar and specific, rather than just general. That's one of the things that appealed to me was just doing something in the UK, having been away for a long time. "So, doing this with Harry and Jack and obviously Keeley, it's such a dream. [I'm] back home." Keeley also remarked: "It would have been a very different show if it had been an American version."
