THOMPSON NEARLY LOST OUT ON LOVE
Actress EMMA THOMPSON nearly lost out on husband GREG WISE after the actor was told by a white witch he was meant to marry Hollywood star KATE WINSLET instead.

Thompson met Wise on the set of 1995's SENSE AND SENSIBILITY. During filming, Wise consulted a witch who told him he would meet his future wife on the Oscar-winning film. Considering Thompson was still married to KENNETH BRANAGH, Wise assumed she meant his co-star Kate Winslet.
But their first date didn't go as planned, so Thompson swept in, and the pair have now been married for three years.
She says, "Greg had been to see a friend of his who was a bit of a witch and she had said 'You are going to meet your future wife on this film.'
"Of course, I was still married to Ken, so it didn't occur to Greg that it was me, he thought it was Kate. And he took Kate to Glastonbury (Southern England town), but she's a modern, and Greg is a hippie. So she was bored by Glastonbury!
"If he wanted to get into her knickers, he should have taken her to Barcelona."
