Thompson set for break from showbiz

Emma Thompson has vowed to take a break from working.

The Oscar-winning British actress and screenwriter plans to take time off after steadily working for years so she can put her feet up.

“Next year, I’m going to take a sabbatical – I’m not going to fundraise or perform or travel, except in pursuit of new vistas with my family,” she told the Hollywood Reporter.

“I’ve been meaning to do this for a long, long time, but it’s been like putting the brakes on a large ship because there is so much going on,” added the 'Nanny McPhee' star.
