For decades, Christopher McDonald and Geena Davis shared a Hollywood connection most fans knew little about.<\/p>\n
Long before they played husband and wife in\u00a0Thelma & Louise<\/em>, they were actually planning to become husband and wife in real life.<\/p>\n Now, at 71, McDonald has opened up about how that relationship came to a painful end \u2014 and how Jeff Goldblum became part of the story.<\/p>\n McDonald revealed that he and Davis had been engaged for approximately five weeks when she traveled to Europe to film the 1985 movie\u00a0Transylvania 6-5000<\/em>.<\/p>\n Her co-star was Jeff Goldblum.<\/p>\n While McDonald remained behind performing in\u00a0Hamlet<\/em>, Davis and Goldblum grew close.<\/p>\n Then came the news McDonald wasn\u2019t expecting: Davis had fallen in love with Goldblum.<\/p>\n McDonald admitted the breakup left him devastated.<\/p>\n But remarkably, there doesn\u2019t appear to be bitterness today.<\/p>\n Years later, Davis and McDonald found themselves together again when he was cast as Thelma\u2019s husband, Darryl, in the 1991 classic\u00a0Thelma & Louise<\/em>.<\/p>\n The reunion could have been painfully awkward.<\/p>\n Instead, they met for lunch, talked about the past and embraced.<\/p>\n Then came one of the strangest twists of all.<\/p>\n For the movie, the former real-life couple actually posed for fake wedding photographs that would appear around their characters\u2019 home.<\/p>\n McDonald has described working with Davis again as cathartic.<\/p>\n Davis has also acknowledged how much she hurt him. In her 2022 memoir, she described McDonald as a wonderful man and expressed gratitude that he eventually forgave her.<\/p>\n Davis and Goldblum went on to marry in 1987 before eventually divorcing.<\/p>\n McDonald found his own lasting love as well, marrying actress Lupe Gidley in 1992.<\/p>\n What began as one of the most painful chapters of his young life ultimately ended somewhere few Hollywood stories do:<\/p>\n With forgiveness \u2014 and a friendship that survived it all.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" At 71, Christopher McDonald Finally Reveals What Happened Between Geena Davis, Jeff Goldblum and Him For decades, Christopher McDonald and Geena Davis shared a Hollywood connection most fans knew little about.
