Emma Thompson: the transformations of the Nanny McPhee actress

The British actress is sometimes unrecognizable in her films. The proof in pictures.

A Golden Globe, a BAFTA Award and an Oscar. All scooped up in 1993 thanks to the film Return to Howards End. Here is part of the prize list displayed on the counter by Emma Thompson. Since her debut in front of the camera in the 1980s, the British actress has had a string of successes, even enjoying the luxury of making a lasting place in Hollywood. A success story that she owes to her talent but also to her ability to completely transform herself for roles. The proof with Nanny McPhee.

Rebroadcast this Wednesday, December 25 at 9:10 p.m. on M6, this feature film by Kirk Jones features an unrecognizable Emma Thompson. In this film, which marks his second collaboration with Colin Firththe actress leaves the glamor in the closet and appears borderline hideous, at least in part of the film.

On the occasion of the broadcast of this work which “assumes his dated spirit as The Baudelaire Orphans Or Harry Potterbut without offering the fantastic and spectacular dimension of the latter” (read Isabelle Danel's review here), a look back at Emma Thompson's sometimes improbable looks. In recent years, the actress particularly likes to transform herself, and she is not the only one: if you like “chameleon actors”you might like these articles:
