Emma Thompson and Emilia Clarke certainly bonded while filming Last Christmas
Thompson said that self-love was a concept she had difficulty embracing at first. “Both my mother and grandmother would not have understood what was meant by that,” Thompson said. “To give yourself to other people, sacrifice, and love as much as you can, okay—but to direct that toward yourself, they would go, That’s selfish. That’s self-important. That was the generation I grew up with. And I admired that generation with all my heart, because they survived two wars.
Clarke said that Kate’s unapologetic imperfection was refreshing and relatable. “That’s what I loved about her,” Clarke said, comparing Kate to more traditional rom-com heroines. “Because so often, in movies, it’s just bloody annoying, isn’t it? You’re like, Well, no one’s like that. No one’s coifed and perfect.
the actor was still nervous. And preemptively apologized to Thompson for any potential screwups she’d make. “I remember just looking at her and being like, Just let me know if I mess it up. She was like, What! Gets me in this huge hug, and is like, I’ll do nothing of the sort. You’re going to be fine. That was the dynamic from there on out,” said Clarke. “She just supported us in his magical way. I hadn’t met her before [the film] but I had been pretty obsessed with her my whole life.
“I’ve had the good fortune of going to visit her and [her husband] Greg’s house in Scotland,” Clarke said of a recent trip. As for the preferred activity on that vacation: “They love a good sauna,” Clarke revealed. “You jump into their stream, you get freezing cold, and then you jump back in the sauna, and then get back in the stream. It was me, Emma, and Greg in the nude in a sauna, jumping back and forth and shrieking…it was a dream.
