THOMPSON RAGED ABOUT SEXY BUS AD
Actress EMMA THOMPSON grew so sick and tired of slipping standards in using sex to sell in her native Britain she was prompted to pen an angry letter to London's former Mayor KEN LIVINGSTONE.
The Oscar winner started raging when she saw a scantily-clad female advertising a product on a bus.
The ad in question featured a topless model covering her nipples with two 10 pence coins.
Thompson tells America's More magazine, "I find it offensive and I don't care who knows it."
So she wrote to the Mayor: "I said, ‘Take those f**king images off! It’s a bus!'”
And Thompson is still fuming after learning Brideshead Revisited co-star Hayley Atwell was asked to slim down to play her daughter.
The actress states, "I went absolutely ballistic. She didn't need to lose weight, and it upset her deeply. It was an evil thing to do.”
Thompson reveals she even threatened to quit over the incident, and the producers backed down.
She adds, "She (Atwell) looks so beautiful and womanly... That’s what God intended."
