“A phone called in my caravan and was Donald Trump. I thought it was a joke.” Hi, I am Donald Trump. “Thompson revealed. “I said, ‘What can I help you with?’ I thought he needed directions. He said, “I would like to stay in one of my beautiful places and maybe we could take dinner.”she revealed during a Masterclass in Locarno, remembering the work of Mike Nichols’ political satire “Primary Colors”, writes News.
“I realized that exactly that day my divorce was finally pronounced. I bet he has people who are looking for the right people to eliminate, all these cute divorces – that is, he found the number of my caravan! This is a pursuit!
Thompson, who started his career as a comedian, has never avoided political humor.
“I made jokes about Margaret Thatcher and Herpes, you know? It’s the simplest thing you can take from the unprotected sex. I said that both Thatcher and Herpes was very difficult to escape. It is valid today,” she said, reflecting on her beginnings.
“Later, I wrote a series of comedy scenes and one of them was about a woman from the Victorian era who was coming to see her mother. Her husband seems to have a” little creature “attached to her body. She talks about his penis, of course, and it’s about sexual ignorance, but it’s funny. The producer of the movie “Sense and Sensibility” saw this and thought: “This woman can adapt Jane Austen! It’s so strange.”
At first, she didn’t want to be an actress at all, she admitted. “It seemed like a poor job. A hospital administrator came once to our school and it seemed like a beautiful job.”she said. “Especially because he had beautiful shoes. “
But followed roles appreciated in “Howards End” and “The Remind of the Day”. For the latter, she was inspired by her own grandmother and by “Intergenerational trauma”.
“She has been working for 13 years. She was raped by her employer, became pregnant, kept the child and discovered, as it happened with many other young servants, that it was a forced surrogate maternity.” Her experience influenced the interpretation of the role of Miss Kenton. “My grandmother has never been truly happy and fulfilled.”
Later, Hollywood also noted this through the “Primary Colors” that mirrors the current political disorders.
“If you remember the scandal Monica Lewinsky, poor Monica, this happened when I was doing” PRimary Colors “.
She added: “It seems that it has been so long. Oh, if we could have a beautiful sexual scandal and nothing of all this, please. “
While the “Harry Potter” franchise was not even an artistic challenge – “I do not want to be rude, but I came, I did the part with glasses and hair, and I left ” -” Nanny McPhee “which in writing, he was more satisfying.
“I did not write it for children-I wrote it for everyone. It is about pain, and I lost my father when I was very young.”she said. “I think it was the story I appealed for for comfort. It is so important to me and connects me to all generations. ”
Celebrated and for “Love actually”Thompson did not expect this movie to become a beloved classic.
“I remember that Hugh Grant came to me and asked me:” Is this the most psychotic thing I have ever done? “Then people began to approach me on the means of public transport, crying.”she admitted.
“I think we have reached a sensitive point because we, women, when we live a soul pain, sometimes we have to hide it. What excites you is not her crying, but the fact that she covers it, descends the stairs and is cheerful. It is a constant source for me (the film has become so emblematic)!”.
Thompson, who received the Leopard Club prize at the festival, recently played in Brian Kirk’s film “Dead of Winter”.
“I almost had an aneurysm – I was so amazed and so happy.”she said, remembering a very crowded projection.
She had also not met a character like the one she performed in “Good Luck to You, Leo Grande ”: A woman who decides to finally experience an orgasm late in life, with the help of a gigolo.
“I liked her fear, I liked that she knew she was missing something important. She did all the good things in life and when we meet her, she is only depressed and confused“Said the actress.
“The conversations I had around this movie were incredible, with younger women who told me that they never experienced it or older men who said they helped them the image of their body. But it was very important for her to experience this orgasm on their own.”
She also spoke about the scene in which she is empty in front of the mirror “not very well lit“.”I went to many art galleries and looked at images with Adam and Eve. They were in a very relaxed position, with a bent knee, without thinking about it. I tried to channel that. It was about someone who had this neutral acceptance. And God knows it is difficult. “
