Although Thompson didnt name the costar, she did say she confronted producers over the request.

There was a wonderful actress I was working with on Brideshead Revisited, and the producers said, Will you lose some weight? the two-time Oscar winner recalled. And she was absolutely exquisite.

And 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. Its evil whats going on out there, and its getting worse, she added.

In addition to Thompson, the 2008 film also starred Hayley Atwell, who confirmed Thompsons story in 2008.

I went round to Emmas one night and she was getting very angry that I wasnt eating all the food she was giving me, Atwell said. I told her why, and she hit the roof.

In the interview with Skavlan, Thompson joked that Hollywoods obsession with being thin has kept her from living there.

I never moved to the U.S. I couldnt. Every time I have to go to Los Angeles I think, Oh, God, Im too fat to go there, theyre not going to let me in, she said. I think they are saying to me when I arrive, You are fat, and you are old. Go home.

Thompson also doesnt mince words when it comes to the French fashion industry.

The French fashion industry said they would get rid of size 0, and then, you know, they didnt. The anorexia theres so many kids, girls and boys now, and actresses who are very, very thin into their 30s, who simply dont eat, she said. They dont eat. Sometimes there are just some subjects that you absolutely have to make noise about, because its so tedious and its gone on and on.

Thompson has a reputation for being protective of younger actors. In an interview with Good Housekeeping in 2007, Kate Winslet, who starred with her friend Thompson in 1995s Sense and Sensibility, said, Emma Thompson told me, If you ever lose weight, I will never talk to you again.
