Emma Thompson makes a glamorous exit from the Sydney theater after a Q&A for her new film in which she appears naked
Dame Emma Thompson was all smiles and looked ultra-glamorous on Friday as she walked out of Sydney’s Cremorne Orpheum cinema.
She was present at a Q&A for her new movie, the risque comedy-drama Good Luck to You, Leo Grande.
The acclaimed actress, 63, goes naked in her role as the 55-year-old who strikes up a relationship with a young sex worker, played by Peaky Blinders star Daryl McCormack.

Thompson was dressed in a sleek black unbuttoned jacket, black shirt, neon gold leggings and cool black shoes.
She accessorized her look with a sleek bob cut, bright red lipstick and a glowing foundation that complemented her own natural glow beautifully.
Excited Sydneysiders lined up for the chance to see the two-time Oscar winner in the flesh and Emma did not disappoint.

Emma was recently at the center of a debate over her next film, which sees her don a “big suit” for the role of Roald Dahl’s Miss Trunchbull in a big-screen musical adaptation of Matilda.
With the release of the expected film’s trailer last week, a debate arose over whether Emma was the right cast for the key character in Dahl’s beloved 1988 book.

Some commenters said that Emma, who wore a similar costume to play Karen in Love Actually, wearing bodily prostheses is “offensive”.
One reviewer wrote on Twitter: “Yes, it’s offensive that Emma Thompson wears a big suit in Matilda. But the initial failing is that nearly every woman Dahl has written is either a sweet, pretty, and de good-natured, or a mean, haggard (and in her mind, physically disgusting) Miss Trunchbull.
Another said: ‘I love Emma Thompson. She is incredible.
“However, there are many wonderfully talented plus-size actresses who are consistently overlooked and should be considered for these roles instead of having a thin actress wear a thick suit.”
