Ed Burns: Marriage Secret is 'Two-Week Rule'
9 Dec
Summary
- Ed Burns follows a 'two-week rule' with his wife, Christy Turlington.
- Robert Redford's crucial support launched Burns' film career.
- Burns finds empty nesting a productive period for writing.

Actor and filmmaker Ed Burns shared insights into his enduring marriage with model Christy Turlington, attributing their success to a "two-week rule" established early on. This pact ensured they never spent more than a fortnight apart, even if it meant declining certain jobs requiring extensive travel.
Burns also reflected on the pivotal role Robert Redford played in launching his career. After facing rejections for his film 'The Brothers McMullen,' a chance encounter with Redford led to the film's acceptance into the Sundance Film Festival, securing its success.
Currently navigating empty nesting, Burns has found this phase to be exceptionally productive. He is channeling his energy into writing, having completed two novels, and is planning new film projects, inspired by the everyday stories and interactions he observes in New York City.
