The wife of Tim Burton and his muse: Helena Bonham Carter

The original style of Tim Burton's cinematographic works is remembered for all spectators without exception. His gloomy, Gothic and in their own way attracting films from the first frame. And sensitive cartoon characters with huge eyes and long limbs are extremely convincing, albeit creepy.

Creativity of the director, animator, producer and writer is inseparable from his personal life. In particular, his women have always had a significant influence on his creative activity. The second wife of Tim Burton for 13 years went hand in hand with him. In real life, she became his faithful friend and mother of two children, and in the professional activities embodied on the screen a few very bright characters. The muse-inspirer, which was greatly loved by Tim Burton to film, is his wife. Her name is Helena Bonham Carter. Their friendly relations did not stop even an unexpected break.

The desire to marry a British actress-aristocrat Tim Burton expressed almost immediately after the beginning of their novel in 2001. Given the popularity of the pair, their alliance has attracted the attention of many fans around the world. However, we did not wait for the announcement of the wedding ceremony. From a legal point of view, Tim Burton's wife remained a concubine.

Eccentrics in life and in cinema

In fact, the relationship between Tim and Helena has become a kind of standard of a successful marriage. Rarely calm, sympathetic and understanding, they have lived a soul for more than ten years. True, this pair could not be called traditional, because in the press constantly flashed references to their so-called "guest marriage". There is an opinion that the duration and strength of their relationship are obliged to separate living: the wife of Tim Burton and the director settled in the neighboring houses, and not together.

Children of Tim and Helen

In the civil marriage of Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter, two children were born. The eldest son was born in 2003, in October. Tim Burton's wife agreed to name him after Tim's grandfather Bill. Four years later, in December 2007, the director for the second time became a father. The born girl was named Nell.

Tim has no other children. Despite the break in relations with Helena, he still spends time with his son and daughter.

By the way, during these walks there is also a former civil wife of Tim Burton. Photos of the family are constantly flickering in the pages of magazines.

A true aristocrat

Helena's steadfast and enduring temper was tempered from childhood. When she was a teenager, her father was paralyzed by an unsuccessful operation. Despite the fact that the family could afford a whole staff of servants with nurses including, Helena was always at her father's side, supporting and encouraging him.

Strong attachment to her parents did not allow her to leave her father's house until she was 30 years old. But then she bought a house nearby to be able to visit her mother and father more often.

Life is anew

Apparently, Tim Burton also refers to the break calmly and wisely, because he was seen in the company of Eva Green. Maybe this is the beginning of a new era, and can we hope for its appearance in the next director's films? He always found roles for his wives.

It's worth mentioning the name of the wife of Tim Burton, who became his first muse and appeared in several of the most famous films: Lisa May. She had an extremely great influence on his formation as a person. In many biographical articles about Tim his first marriage is called "the period of Lisa May".
