Emma Thompson admitted that she began to hate her body when she was a teenager
It wasn't until she was 62 that she was able to love herself again.
Emma Thompson attended The Late Show with Stephen Colbert before the premiere of her new film, Good Luck to You Leo Grande. She talked about making the film and the nude scene that rehearsals helped her love her body.
The 62-year-old actress admitted that this was not always the case, she began hating her body when she was 14.
I think that I started hating my body when I was about 14, and I think those neural pathways are well kind of carved into my soul. I know we laugh, but you think of all of those eight-year-olds out there going, 'I don't like my thighs,'" she said.
