Abbie Cornish Dishes On Early Romance With Then-Married Ryan Phillippe

people.com:

While she may be top-billed in the new movie Bright Star, Australian actress Abbie Cornish first rose to prominence in the U.S. two years ago, when she costarred in the real-life domestic drama involving the then-married Ryan Phillippe and Reese Witherspoon.

Cornish, now 27, and Phillippe, 34, met on the set of the movie Stop-Loss, and today they share a home in Los Angeles -- "where it was love that brought me here, not work," she tells W magazine for its September issue. "I think the city feels and looks a little bit different because of that."

Not sure I want to see a movie starring someone who is dishing on her relationship with a then-married man. Imagine the outrage is Angelina ever so much as hinted about this...

[toxicbrainpoison]

No marriage cause Ryan likes to hump and dump

[AfroLatina21]

I honestly think one of the reasons Reese and Ryan broke up was because he couldn't handle her rising fame.

They both started off as teen stars in teen movies. Ryan was actually more well known than Reese when they got married then after Reese did the film "Election" her career started to really take off and she became the bigger star. After that she was getting the roles in big movies and Ryan wasn't.

[Giorgia]

Um she wasn't married, he was, so therefore the onus on responsibility regarding his wife and children lies solely with him. Only those in the marriage have control over the outcome, it is too easy to brand the young starlet a homewrecker. Besides who cares, it's their business. Let's just hope all is well now for all concerned.

Tracey Flick you rock!

Getting involved with a married man is pretty ruthless. Of course it is his commitment but you can't pretend to have no culpability when you involve yourself with someone you know is hurting someone else and when children are impacted. It is just disingenuous to act like it is just something that happened to you...

[CyndiC]

Exactly! Even though it's his commitment - my Mom always taught me never ever go with another woman's man whether they are married or not.

[mshazen]

Well said, as for the original couple they both seem happy now. Jake is over the top cute.

[Uzo Nwoye]

i couldn't agree more. People tend to blame so called "home wreckers". Nope, the home third party did not make a commitment to the people in the marriage, they did not go to a ceremony before their friends and relatives to promise fidelity and love to their partner, they do not have young children who they brought into this world and owe a stable family life, they are not the ones who have been given the gift of love and whose partners have given them the opportubity of sharing their live with them. If the third party had blame, it would be about 0.1% of the blame the partner in the marriage has. It is very ridiculous going after the third party. This idea follows in the tradition of blaming women for marriage failures no matter what the circumstance. Ryan is the culprit here, period

[NoSillyName]

Wrong. It is not ethically correct, if one doesn't care about morals, to encourage or respond to a still-married person. Tell that person, "get divorced and then we'll talk."

[brahdog]

well can anyone really blame her? the dude's a fox

[dlvme2]

It was wrong of him and of her and it does not matter if you feel he is hot. If he wanted out of his marriage he should have gotten out BEFORE cheating. The way they did it of course it caused a stir and I am very glad that it made her uncomfortable because it should have.

[brahdog]

i was being a smart-ass. i don't condone cheating by any stretch by any party

[nippyfan]

Karma is a mofo. Self-involved much? She should be publicly apologizing to the wife and mother of Ryan's kids. Can't say that I wish Ryan and this woman the best, as the start was just wrong.

[sparky09]

Remember his eye strayed to you, Ms. Cornish hen...Watch over your shoulder, cause sooner or later it will happen to you...Once a cheater, always a cheater...& there's also a thing called karma....

[BikeFreak]

My thoughts exactly...

[sheeshbrother]

What a nice story.
Adutery,divorce,and a broken family.
Cornish and Phillippe are insufferable.
But it's nice they found their own b-list level together.

[KarateKid]

Wait until SHE wins an Academy Award and see what happens.....

[heights91]

Phillippe's better off also. He's never looked happier. RW doesn't seem like a walk in the park to me. Very tense.

[sweetwhine]

Yes of course its her fault.

"walk in the park" Does that go for his kids he abandoned too?

[fabricnthreads]

Too much information. Was a difficult time for her?????

I am sure Reese and her fans don't give a ......

[pompous]

I just don't buy into the home wrecker theory. People don't wreck the marriages of others as much as the couple themselves. If a person is committed and doesn't seek self love through another nothing or no one can catch their eye. If it wasn't her it would have been someone else to give him the excuse to leave. People like him lack the courage to say "I am not happy and I am leaving" without having someone on the side. Reese is better off!

[LinLin16]

you must be a homewrecker

[cecebo]

uh, I beg to differ.

[cyjames1975]

You're exactly right. You can't steal a husband (or wife) who doesn't want to be stolen. And there is a specific kind of person who would do anything to avoid leaving and being alone. They just act out until the wife says goodbye and then they jump straight into another relationship. They always have a parachute -- one that smiles at them, tells them they are wonderful, and never has a cross word. Of course, this isn't a person who has to deal with them everyday. Whether that's what happened here-- who knows. But if I were Abby, I'd keep my mouth shut and not get too comfortable.

[jetbanana]

The sound of Ryan's voice is like nails on a chalkboard to me. Eeek! Cannot watch any film with him in it. I don't know how anyone can be married to this dull guy.

[BikeFreak]

I agree about his voice!

He always sounds like that young GOPer character he played in the movie "Igby Goes Down" (great movie, by the way).

[yellowdoggie]

I would say that the winner in all this was Reese Witherspoon. I would say that if I knew anything about it, really. All I know is tabloid stuff. But anyway, I think people generally get what they deserve. Ryan and Abby deserve each other. Reese deserved to be rid of him. It all worked out.

[cecebo]

that's so nice that it worked out for all the adults. Not sure the kids would agree.

[yellowdoggie]

It's a fact that divorce is hard on kids. So are unhappy marriages. Childhood is hard.

[mama jenna]

Reese Witherspoon really carried herself well throughout that whole drama. She really seems to be a class act. Good for her.

[sweetwhine]

She was raised right.
