³ÉÈËÂÛ̳

Dame Emma Thompson has graced our screens for four decades. As an actor, she's played all kinds of women, from her role as Elinor Dashwood in Sense and Sensibility to her heart-breaking Karen in Christmas favourite, Love Actually. But now she's taking on a different kind of acting role.

Good Luck To You, Leo Grande tells the story of Nancy Stokes, a 55-year-old widow (played by Thompson) who decides to hire a significantly younger male sex worker, played by the Irish actor, Daryl McCormack. The film, written by the author and comedian Katy Brand, focuses almost exclusively on these two characters - and it features Emma's first ever nude scenes. She joined Emma Barnett on ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Radio 4 Woman’s Hour to discuss how she prepared for them, as well as commenting on changing beauty standards.
