John Malkovich<\/a> has suggested he regrets his affair with Michelle Pfeiffer.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
John Malkovich has reflected on his relationship with Michelle Pfeiffer<\/p>\n
The 71-year-old actor’s marriage to the late Glenne Headly ended in 1988 after six years when he began an illicit romance with his Dangerous Liaisons co-star, and he doesn’t think his behaviour was “fair” because not only did it ruin his relationship with his wife, he also lost a friend and collaborator as a result.<\/p>\n
Speaking on the Fashion Neurosis podcast, he said: “It’s not something I’ve ever really talked about.<\/p>\n
“Put it in this way, in the work I do, you make emotional bonds with people very quickly. <\/p>\n
“That’s part of the work. Very rarely, those bonds extend beyond the work. <\/p>\n
\n“For me, she was someone I valued greatly as a colleague, was great fun and moving and with me, incredibly fair. And I certainly wasn’t.<\/p>\n
\n“I think I’ve learned over the course of my life that a great colleague is actually rarer than anything.<\/p>\n
\n“And when that relationship becomes more than collegial or more than a friendship – even a profound friendship – then at least in my experience, and it might be my particular psychology or stupidity or ineptness or all of the above… you lose a great colleague.”<\/p>\n
\nJohn contrasted his professional relationship with Michelle – who was married to Peter Horton at the time – with his decades-long partnership with Lithuanian actress Ingeborga Dapkunaite.<\/p>\n
\nHe said: “Ingeborga and I are still, 33 years now, working together and have remained great friends and colleagues because there is a line we never crossed,’ he said. <\/p>\n
\n“That’s what I’ve learned – that when a thing like that happens, it probably, might be, not retrievable.”<\/p>\n
\nJohn’s marriage to Glenne – who died of complications from a pulmonary embolism aged 62 in 2017 – ended the year Dangerous Liaisons came out and she went on to marry musician Byron McCulloch.<\/p>\n
\nThe Burn After Reading actor went on to find love with Nicolette Peyran and is still in a relationship with the production designer now.<\/p>\n
\nMeanwhile Michelle divorced Peter in 1990 and went on to marry and have two children with David E. Kelley.<\/p>\n
\nJohn has previously batted away questions about his affair with Michelle.<\/p>\n
\nHe once said: “It’s hard to believe Michelle Pfeiffer ever said hello to me.”<\/p>\n
