Actress Helena Bonham Carter has revealed why she never married her long-time partner Tim Burton. Speaking on a podcast, she said she didn’t view marriage as a “healthy” commitment and admitted her ADHD contributed to her reluctance — explaining that organising a wedding would lead her to become excessively obsessive about every choice. She and Burton were together for many years and have two children but chose not to wed, with her personality and personal preferences playing a key role in that decision.
