Emma Thompson has said she never conformed to the “shape or look” male film executives wanted to see naked as she reflects on her first on-screen nude scene in her new film.

In Good Luck to You, Leo Grande, the 63-year-old Oscar winner plays Nancy Stokes, a 55-year-old retired widow who hires a male sex worker to fulfil her aim of having an orgasm.
