Marriage necessitates more than just being in a relationship and loving one another. The decision to marry and live by the vows exchanged in the meanwhile is what causes people to consider twice before leaping to conclusions.
Bae Doona, a Korean actress who was previously in a relationship with her British boyfriend, James Anthony Sturgess, also did not attend the wedding.
What could be the reason for Bae Doona’s non-marriage? Were the ex-boyfriend and ex-girlfriend on the same page about getting married, or is there another side to the story?
Let us investigate to find out the answer.
Relationship Status
When Bae Doona and Jim Sturgess announced their relationship in 2014, the media went crazy. Though the couple supposedly met and began dating while filming ‘Cloud Atlas’ in 2012, the confirmation came two years later.
Their worldwide relationship was widely publicized, and their followers admired Bae and her ex-union boyfriends to the fullest extent imaginable. Despite the fact that they may have been together for three years, their love tale did not finish happily.
Bae’s agency broke the sad news that the couple had split up after a year of officially announcing their relationship. According to the agency,
“Bae Doo Na and significant other Jim Sturgess recently broke up.”
In addition, the reason for their decision to discontinue their relationship was kept private. However, Bae Doona’s ex-boyfriend later stated that his job made it difficult for him to stay in a relationship. He stated,
“Bouncing between continents makes it hard to maintain a relationship.”
Regardless of the reason, the news of them splitting up devastated the hearts of many of their admirers. But it was their decision, and we must accept it nonetheless.
Furthermore, neither of them is now dating anyone as a result of their divorce.
Bae Doona- Early Life
Bae Doona was born on October 11, 1979, in Seoul, South Korea, and began her career as a model before becoming an actress. Following in the footsteps of her mother, Kim Hwa-young, a stage actress in Korea, Bae tried her hand at acting and has become quite successful.
Belonging to an Asian ethnicity, Bae is a whole package in terms of her beauty, skill set, and excitement for her craft. Not only is she well-known in Korea, but her English-language Hollywood debut in ‘Cloud Atlas’ has also added to her success.
Furthermore, Bae shared advice on how to be successful, and her major credo is to be confident. While advising the cast of ‘Infinity Challenge’ on how to audition for a Hollywood part, Bae stated,
“You shouldn’t give up just based on looks, and being able to speak English is important. However, being confident is also important. For one instance, I played a role of a middle-aged Mexican woman but I obviously didn’t know any Spanish at the time when I auditioned so I just auditioned in Korean. I told them that if they gave me the role, I’ll memorize the Spanish script no matter the circumstance. I also tried to appeal to them with my confidence by letting them know I even played a role where I had to play table tennis with my left hand. It’s important to make them think, ‘I want to have the chance to work with that person.”
Confidence is always essential!
