life and career

Keeley Hawes was born in London in 1976 as the daughter of a taxi driver . She attended the Sylvia Young Theater School , where she took ten years of speaking technique lessons. It was thanks to this that she was able to lend her voice to the English cartoon - Lara Croft for television .

In December 2001, Hawes married Spencer McCallum, a cartoonist , in Westminster , after giving birth to their first son 20 months earlier. That marriage was annulled eight weeks later after falling in love with fellow Spooks actor Matthew Macfadyen . About two months before the couple's first daughter was born in December 2004, the two married on October 2, 2004 in Richmond upon Thames . Their second child together - a son - was born in September 2006.

After Hawes shot Tipping the Velvet for the BBC in 2002 , she announced in an interview with Diva magazine and Radio Times that she was bisexual . A few years later she explained that at the time she wanted to say that everyone is a bit bisexual, after all, and that everyone is able to find someone of their own gender attractive.
