A woman enters a cafe accompanied by a short man. She is not a star, not a model, she is, as they say, ordinary: fair-haired, plump, sweet. She sits down at the table, her companion leans towards her and says something. The woman's face changes, but only for a second. Then she pulls herself together, slowly turns her head and looks at the man who is sitting against the other wall. And he looks at her. The music of Mikael Tariverdiev sounds, TV viewers wipe away tears and cannot take their eyes off this scene.
The episode of Stirlitz’s meeting with his wife lasted only eight minutes, but it was for this role that viewers remembered Eleonora Shashkova. But she played in dozens of films, she has many brilliant theater works, and she played the intelligence officer’s wife even before “Seventeen Moments of Spring” - in a series of films about “Resident Error”.
Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan
For example, the youngest billionaire on the planet, who has become a legend, is married to his classmate, whom he met in 2004. Priscilla was among the minority who supported Mark at the very beginning of his work on creating Facebook, believed in him, and went with him all the hard way from “nothing” to fame.
Mark says that she attracted him with her simplicity and sincerity. They say that both the celebrity’s wife and Mark himself are indifferent to money.
Pierce Brosnan and Keely Shaye Smith
The handsome Irish agent 007 led an unremarkable journalist with an ordinary appearance to the altar in 2001. The family enjoys life in a luxurious house by the ocean, raises two children and does not pay attention to journalists’ jokes about the celebrity’s wife. Photos of Keeley and her figure constantly appear in the media with ironic comments about the corpulence of Bond's wife. However, Pierce is happy with his “other half”.
Handsome actors and their wives with “non-Hollywood” appearance
Fans line up behind these actors in echelons, but they still chose to marry not those who are more beautiful, but those who are closer to their souls. Yes, maybe these ladies don't make hot men look so good on the red carpet. But, as they say, you can’t order your heart, and brave stars don’t give a damn what their ill-wishers say. Especially when there is a loving wife nearby.
We present to you famous actors whose wives do not meet established beauty standards.
1. Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness
Deborra is 13 years older than her husband. But Hugh doesn’t mind this age difference at all! More than 20 years ago, a young and unknown actor, Hugh Jackman, fell in love with Deborra when she was already an actress with the baggage of several successful projects. The couple only needed 4 months of dating to get married. Now they are raising two adopted children. Hugh Jackman himself really appreciates his wife for the fact that she connected her life with him even before he became successful.

2. Vincent Perez and Karine Sylla
The actor often plays roles in which he appears to be a kind of Don Juan, but in real life he can boast of an easygoing and family-like disposition. He searched for true love for a long time until he met Senegalese model Karine Sylla. The actor himself admits that after that he could not look at other girls, he was so in love with Karin. By the way, the model gave him four children. The happy marriage has lasted for 21 years.

3. Nicolas Cage and Alice Kim
Nicholas had enough passions, including the most famous women in Hollywood. But Alice captivated him with her youth (she is 20 years younger than the actor), Asian appearance and the fact that she is a completely ordinary girl. They met at the establishment where Kim worked as a waitress. Cage's friends say that in his third marriage he became a completely different person. It’s a pity, but after more than 10 years of relationship, the couple divorced.
