Emma Thompson knew the pain her character Karen was going through when she learned her husband was cheating on her.

“I had my heart very badly broken by [ex-husband Kenneth Branagh],” Thompson said at a fundraising event in early 2018.

“So I knew what it was like to find the necklace that wasn’t meant for me.”

In an added heartbreaking detail: have you ever noticed Karen is wearing red earrings in the scene?

As viewers have pointed out, it’s likely she wore them expecting to receive the gold necklace – which featured a ruby – and thinking they would match nicely, along with her red cardigan and lipstick.

Devastating.
