Helena Bonham Carter: ‘Divorce is cruel. But some parts are to be recommended’

It is so refreshing when people in the public eye speak frankly about divorce. In her own, inimitable way, Helena Bonham Carter does so in this interview with The Guardian: Helena Bonham Carter: ‘Divorce is cruel. But some parts are to be recommended’

“It’s taken us some time to adjust, but I think it’s really very good now,” she says. “And the kids are fine, they get to have a dual life. At first it’s a horrible thing to get used to, not having your children around [when you share custody]. The cruelty of divorce is extraordinary. But then you get to a point where you’re like, Oh, I get this week off! Some parts are very much to be recommended.”
