Emma Thompson has given her two cents on plastic surgery, saying it's nothing but a "form of collective psychosis".
The 62-year-old Oscar winner's latest project, Good luck to You, Leo Grande, sees her star as a widow who hires a young male escort so she can finally explore the sexual intimacy that her marriage lacked.
Speaking to The Wrap about what it's like to now be an actress in her sixties, Thompson was asked if she would ever consider going under the knife.
"Why would you do that to yourself, I simply don't understand," she said. "I do honestly think the cutting of yourself off to put it in another place in order to avoid appearing to do what you're actually doing, which is aging, which is completely natural, is a form of collective psychosis.
"I really do think it's a very strange thing to do."
Thompson added, though, that this isn't a new opinion of hers now that she's at an age when people often opt for facelifts.
She stressed that she's always had the same stance when it comes to altering your appearance for a more youthful one.
"I've always thought that, though. But I've always been a kind of card-carrying, militant feminist when it comes to women's bodies and what's been done to them, what we're told to expect of ourselves, what we're told to do to ourselves," she said.
She added that "one of the great triumphs" of the movie "is that it presents the untreated body."
Opening up the "challenge" of shooting nude scenes at her age, Thompson said she rehearsed "entirely nude" and filmed a full-frontal scene in the film.
According to Thompson, one scene in the film sees her character "stand in front of a mirror alone and she drops her robe".
Opening up about why she decided to shoot the scene, Thompson told Entertainment Weekly: "It's very challenging to be nude at 62.
"I don't think I could've done it before the age that I am. And yet, of course, the age that I am makes it extremely challenging because we aren't used to seeing untreated bodies on the screen."
