    Bryan Brown revealed the secret to his successful 40 year marriage to English-born actress Rachel Ward on Friday.
    The actor, 75, adheres to the same advice husbands have often jokingly spouted over the years.
    He also revealed the two of them decided to get married after they had a 'massive argument'.
    'I was in London to film Give My Regards to Broad Street with Paul McCartney. Rachel came with me,' he said.
    'We took a week off to go to Ireland and had this massive argument. I just thought if we're gonna argue like that, we may as well get married.'
    It was love at first sight for Bryan and Rachel, 64, when they met on the set of The Thorn Birds in 1983.
    They played husband and wife in the show and got married that same year only months after filming wrapped.
    Bryan said no matter the 'work opportunities' the mini-series created for him, he would 'always be more grateful to it for my 40-year marriage and family'.
    The long-time lovebirds married at Rachel's childhood home in Oxfordshire, England before settling in Australia and having three children - Rosie, 38, Matilda, 35, and one son, Joe, 30.
    Since his big break, Bryan has built a career playing tough as nails characters.
    However, the veteran Aussie actor recently revealed the Acorn TV mini-series Darby and Joan he filmed in Queensland triggered his anxiety.
    He opened up to The Daily Telegraph about how the 18-week production took a toll on his mental wellbeing, causing him to struggle with insomnia.
    Bryan went on to say it was a combination of the extended shoot and being away from his family for so long.
    He added the ongoing Covid pandemic affected the overall mood of the production.

      You should be so Proud. "The Thorn Birds" was a Milestone in TV History. It would have been a massive hit if it was amended/released to Theaters back then. I remember my Mother years ago ask me "Hey, sit down with me and watch this TV Mini-Series...I think you will like it!"...I was so taken by the story, I watched it all night after night. And NEVER FORGOT Ralph and Meggie 🌹💔🕊️

    I think the fact that he missed his family so much being away from his family tells the tale, he loves his wife and family that much. I love the line 'we argued, and zi said if we are arguing we should just get married' *lol*. If you want to see him really act, find 'A Town Like Alice'.

      What a terrible attitude to bring to relationships.
      Hence why only 10% of relationships work. They had a massive fight Bryan wasn't saying YES and it's his fault I can assure..
      So your theory is wrong and delusional.

    Shoot the second season of Darby and Joan near home. I absolutely love that show. I also suffered from anxiety since I was a child and panic attacks from the age 28. 70 now. It’s scary business. Triggers are a bitch. I loved Greta as his colleague in DARBY AD JOAN. Still waiting for a project for MR Brown and his dynamo wife, Mrs Rachel to do together in front of the camera. Loved Palm Beach movie. Super talented family! Been a fan since Thorn Birds. I read the book first and was so impressed that the series stayed close the book. It’s one of my fav stories.
