Helena Bonham Carter is considered one of the most eccentric actresses of our time. And this is manifested in everything – from roles to outfits. Even in choosing a companion, the star remained true to itself. According to many, her lover does not suit her at all. But still, they have been together for more than a year.
Back in 2018, at the wedding of friends, Helena accidentally met a scientist, a teacher of modern literature and art, Rai Doug Holmbo.

In an interview, the actress spoke about their first meeting like this: “A completely random event that both of us didn’t want to go to at all. But let’s go and it ultimately determined so much. A happy occasion, and it’s an amazing thing.”
After that, they began a relationship and now the couple has been together for about 4 years. And everything is fine with them, they regularly delight fans with joint exits, where they look very cute.
Rai looks even younger than her 35. Helena is also not far behind – the actress, despite her age, is still good. None of them are embarrassed by the age difference. Although earlier Helena was in a long relationship with a man who, on the contrary, is noticeably older than her.
Recall that Helena was in a relationship with the outstanding director Tim Burton for 13 years. She was his muse and participated as an actress in many of his films. Although I must say, a couple of Helena and Tim have always been considered slightly eccentric. For example, they lived in different houses. Even the birth of 2 children did not make them move in together.

Then the creative and family union fell apart, much to the sadness of all the fans who rightly adored Helena in Burton’s films.
But with Paradise all the same it turned out, the couple came together. Now Helena says in all her interviews that she is “very lucky” to have met Ray. They keep rabbits together as pets and often joke about their age difference. Recently, the actress stated that she “drinks youth from him at night.” It remains only to guess whether this is a thing – or is there still some truth in it?

Either way, Bonham Carter fans are happy for her. Her chosen one is, in fact, special. “Everyone ages at a different rate. My boyfriend is incredibly mature. He is an old soul in a young body, what more could I want? ”Helena admits.
