Emma Thompson has opened up the "challenge" of shooting nude scenes at her age.
The 62-year-old spoke about rehearsing "entirely nude" and filming a full-frontal scene for Good Luck to You, Leo Grande.
The comedy - set to be released later this year - sees Thompson play a teacher who hires a sex worker in the hopes of experiencing her first orgasm.
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."
The Oscar winner also spoke about the "dreadful demands" put on women both in the real world and in acting.
"Nothing has changed in the dreadful demands made upon women in the real world but also in acting," she said. "This thing of having to be thin is still the same as it ever was, and actually in some ways I think it’s worse now."
Thompson stars alongside Peaky Blinders star Daryl McCormick in Good Luck to You, Leo Grande.
It comes as Bradley Cooper echoed Thompson's concerns about filming nude scenes.
The 47-year-old actor revealed that filming full frontal nude scenes in Nightmare Alley for six hours was "pretty heavy".
Cooper - who stars as Stanton Carlisle in the 2021 film - recalled his experience of filming an intimate scene with co-star Toni Collette.
He told The Hollywood Reporter: "I remember reading in the script and thinking, he's a pickled punk in that bathtub and it's to story. You have to do it.
"I can still remember that day, just to be naked in front of the crew for six hours, and it was Toni Collette’s first day. It was just like, 'whoa'. It was pretty heavy."
Cooper said he never raised any questions or pushed back on the scene because "there was nothing gratuitous about it".
