Flash forward 16 years. We see Joseph Fiennes, teaching his daughter how to drive.
The British actor and his Swiss wife, Maria Dolores Dieguez, welcomed a daughter Monday, their first child together, People reports.
Fiennes played the Bard of Avon himself opposite Gwyneth Paltrow in Shakespeare in Love and currently stars in ABC’s FlashForward.
He swapped vows with Dieguez, a model and former Miss Switzerland finalist, last summer in Tuscany after almost three years of dating.
Hollywood heart-throb Joseph Fiennes will be taking part in a question and answer session at this year’s Latitude festival.

Here’s a brand new interview with Joe:
Still best remembered for playing the frilly-shirted Bard in Shakespeare In Love, Joseph Fiennes plays Lenny, a taciturn hard nut who joins Brian Cox’s gang to bust out of prison in low-budget British thriller The Escapist, which is released this week. The 37-year-old can also be seen in the flesh in Anthony Weigh’s 2,000 Feet Away at London’s Bush Theatre.
What attracted you to the tough-man role in The Escapist?
I just thought the whole episode with him getting involved in a gruesome, gruelling fight to attain one tiny bit of equipment to help their escape – which was a diamond set in the tooth of a Celtic warrior named Two Ton – was fantastic.
There’s a new article on Joe in The Guardian! He talks about 2,000 Feet Away (his new play), life after Shakespeare in Love and trying to escape typecasting in Hollywood. Take a look:
Why won’t Joseph Fiennes make life easy for himself? As he prepares to star in an explosive play about paedophilia, he tells Phil Hoad why he’s glad he turned his back on Hollywood
Joseph Fiennes claims he doesn’t remember the look on Harvey Weinstein’s face when he turned down a five-picture deal with Miramax in the late 90s in order to do more theatre. He does, however, remember his reasoning. “I could see it in the piles of scripts: I’m not going to get the roles I want, but how do I challenge that? I wanted freedom.”
Just a quick reminder: the DVD of The Color of Freedom (Goodbye Bafana) is now available in the U.S., so make sure you watch it if you haven’t seen it yet! =)

A research released today reveals that 75% of the drivers polled admitted to resorting to opening the window to prevent them from falling asleep during a long journey, while 4% shake their head vigorously and 3% slap their face.
According to British newspaper The Herald, the UK government will promote a road safety campaign which will focus on tired drivers. It advises, as an emergency measure, drinking two cups of coffee or a high-caffeine drink and having a rest for 10-15 minutes to allow the caffeine to kick in. It also includes a hard-hitting radio advert featuring Joe himself, online advertising on journey-planning websites, partnership marketing and messaging at service station washrooms, forecourts and petrol pumps.
And don’t forget: drive safe.
