Relationships

In 2003, Bettany tied the knot with Jennifer Connelly, whom he had a lengthy relationship with after encountering her on the set of “A Beautiful Mind.” Paul, when he was 15 years old, developed a profound infatuation for Connelly after witnessing her performances as a young actress in movies such as “Once Upon a Time in America” and “Labyrinth.” Eventually, he would encounter his lifelong infatuation on a film set and fulfill his desire.

Connelly, whom he “scarcely knew,” agreed and he proposed while on the phone with her after Bettany was overwhelmed by a strong desire to inquire about the welfare of Connelly following the September 11th assaults.

Controversy

During Johnny Depp’s legal battle against his ex-wife Amber Heard, new information arose when he was cross-examined by prosecutors, revealing that he had been exchanging unsavory texts. This new information emerged as part of Depp’s pursuit of libel charges against UK media publications for suggesting that he was a “wife-beater.” The name of Paul Bettany, a UK media personality, came up in relation to publishing stories about Depp.

Bettany agreed with the idea of burning a corpse and having sex with it, suggesting that Depp should take it a step further by drowning and burning Heard. Bettany jokingly referred to Heard as a witch, recommending that Depp should drown and burn her. The texts between Bettany and Depp steadily became more shocking and inappropriate, although their initial texts seemed mildly inappropriate and somewhat sexual in tone regarding Amber Heard. However, their texts were of a highly personal and jovial nature, considering that Bettany and Depp are longtime friends.

Depp was determined to be an “enabler” for Bettany’s self-destructive behaviors during one of the most challenging times in his life. It was commonly acknowledged that they frequently indulged in drug use together. Moreover, Depp openly confessed that he supplied Paul Bettany, his younger brother, with cocaine and other drugs.

Early Life

Paul Bettany, a male student, didn’t have much luck with any teenage girl. Although this might seem like a dream come true for most boys, he admitted that it wasn’t the case. Paul spent his youth living on a campus of a boarding school where his father worked as a teacher. He was raised as a Roman Catholic and his parents were both actively involved in the performing arts and theater. Paul Bettany was born on May 27th, 1971 in London, England.

After attending drama school, he was able to find a job working in a home for the elderly, which allowed him to earn enough money. Eventually, his parents divorced. In order to make money, he started busking on the streets of London and left his home. Unfortunately, after his brother’s death, he fell into a deep drug addiction and the death of his 16-year-old brother had a profound impact on him. The tragedy occurred when his younger brother Paul fell from a roof and was hit, resulting in a cracked skull. He passed away at the age of 8 after tumbling onto the concrete.
