Emma Thompson has seen a lot of body-shaming in Hollywood.

The actress revealed that she once threatened to quit a movie she was working on after overhearing producers telling her "exquisite" co-star to lose weight.

"There was a wonderful actress in a film I did called 'Brideshead Revisited,'" she said of the 2008 production. "The producer said to her, 'Will you lose some weight?' And she was absolutely exquisite!"

Thompson, 57, was discussing the mistreatment of women on set on the Swedish talk show "Skavlan" last week.

"I said to them, 'If you speak to her about this again, on any level, I will leave this picture. You are never to do that,'" she told the host.

The longtime actress went on to discuss how prevalent anxiety is still in the world, especially with actresses.

"The anorexia there's so many kids, girls and boys now, and actresses who are very, very thin into their 30s, who simply don't eat. They don't eat ... Sometimes there are just some subjects that you absolutely have to make noise about because it's so tedious and it's gone on and on," she continued.

She even had a few words for anyone ready to judge her appearance:
