“It’s completely acceptable for George Clooney, who is delightful, to have someone who is 40 years younger than him or 30 years younger than him. If I have someone playing opposite me in a romantic way, they have to exhume someone, because I’m 61 now. Do you see what I mean? It’s completely and utterly unbalanced,” she stated on the podcast CultureBlast.
In the Sophie Hyde-directed film, Thompson will play a 55-year-old widow Nancy Stokes who hires a intercourse employee in his early 20s.
The actor stated it is going to be “very interesting” for her to play the character and he or she is trying ahead to the viewers’s response to the movie.
“If Leo Grande, the film that we make, speaks to people and people aren’t averse to seeing someone who’s 61 largely naked with a very much younger person, it’s going to be very interesting. We’ve got to keep being brave about that,” she added.
Good Luck To You, Leo Grande relies on an authentic screenplay by British Comedy award winner Katy Brand.
The movie, produced by Genesius Pictures, will get into manufacturing in London early subsequent yr.
