Emma Thompson on getting older... 1993 interview with Nancy Collins

Описание: "I love taking my clothes off, enjoy it very much," Emma Thompson said in our 1993 'Primetime Live' interview. "You're vulnerable if you're naked, nothing covering you. King Lear says 'Oh, is that all it is, this poor, bare, pointy-forked creature?' As soon as you're naked, you see that we are all just these little animals."

At 63, Emma Thompson has never been sexier. Thirty years after first disrobing in the name of art, she's at it again in the brilliant, hilariously revelatory 'Good Luck to You, Leo Grande.' Older, braver, funnier, Emma does onscreen what most women, privately, dread, stand, buck-naked, in front of a full-length mirror, objectively appraising/finally appreciating the beautifully lived-in body she sees -- rounded hips, relaxed thighs, biceps unacquainted with barbells.

In her new movie, Emma plays widowed, religious professor, Nancy, uptight, guilt-infested, sexually repressed, hellbent on experiencing what thirty-one years of marital, missionary sex did not, an orgasm. She books a hotel room, hiring a tall, young, gorgeous, abbed-up but sensitive, Irish male escort improbably named Leo Grande, the terrific Darryl McCormack, Thompson's perfect foil-in-arms -- and legs, bum, head, most importantly. Anxious to get a lot of bang, as it were, for her buck, Nancy hands Leo a Kama-Sutra-for-Dummies list of expected services: 'oral sex, a 'sixty-nine', me on top, you top, doggy style.' He is ready, she is not without first dissecting, critiquing, apologizing for everything about herself, verbal sexual foreplay of the highest, wittiest order, the Emma Thompson specialty.
