40. Alan Cumming and Grant Shaffer

Grant Shaffer may not be famous by name, but you'll definitely have seen his work. He's a graphic designer and artist who's been responsible for the look of many comics, short films and music videos, but we suspect none have been seen by as many people around the world as the iconic video for Beyoncé's Single Ladies'. We can't help but wonder if Shaffer's eye for something artistic and unusual is what first drew him to evergreen character actor Alan Cumming?

British-American Cumming seems to be able to play anything from a hot mess to a King of England on screen effortlessly and has been one of the most recognizable faces on television for years. He and Shaffer married in New York in 2012, five years after they'd entered into a civil partnership while living in London. They have no children; Cumming has stated that while he'd love one, his hectic schedule means he'd be away for too long, and it wouldn't be fair on a child.
