Los Angeles, Feb 14 (TIWN): British actress Emma Thompson, who plays a widow and former teacher Nancy in the much appreciated film 'Good Luck to You, Leo Grande', which was recently screened at Berlinale, revealed that her part in the film pushed her to new avenues as an actor where she learnt to accept her body on screen.

During the Berlin presser, she was asked about a key scene where her character in the film stands unmoving in front of a mirror. As per Variety, the actress spoke passionately about the challenge of delivering an "untreated body" in a movie.

The actress told a room full of journalists, "It was hard. This is homework for all of you. We're only used to seeing bodies that have, you know, been trained. I knew that Nancy wouldn't go to the gym. She would have a normal body of a 62-year-old woman who's had two children."
