Harry Potter’s Imelda Staunton aka Dolores Umbridge has revealed her secret to her 40-year marriage with husband and Downton Abbey co-star Jim Carter. During a recent interview with British Vogue, the 68-year-old actress opened up about how she and Carter prioritize their life together over their career.
She expressed, “Success means working. Success is a really tricky word, and it should be spelled with a very small S. I think it poisons people. I feel Jim and I have made our lives work as a marriage within this business, and we take our life more seriously than our jobs.”
The Harry Potter alum continued, “Of course, we both take [the job] very seriously. But you go, ‘What’s the most important thing here? That I play another part? Or that we go on a very nice holiday, or that we have that time in the garden, that we have our life?’ But we can afford to say that — I don’t mean financially, but with the work we’ve done and are lucky enough to still be doing. I think we know how fortunate we are.”
