Emma Thompson Remembers 'Snog' with Rik Mayall in a Taxi!
SHOCKING TALE OF LOVE AND DESIRE: EMMA THOMPSON UNLEASHES HER WILD SIDE
In a jaw-dropping revelation, Oscar-winning actress Emma Thompson has confessed to sharing a steamy kiss with late comedy legend Rik Mayall in the back of a taxi. The 66-year-old screen siren made the admission during a candid conversation with comedian Ben Elton at Ely Cathedral in Cambridgeshire, where they were promoting his new memoir "What Have I Done?".
Emma, who has been married to Greg Wise for 20 years, revealed that she had almost forgotten about her passionate encounter with Rik, but it suddenly came flooding back during their chat. "I don't know if I should say this," she hesitated, "but there's no hiding the fact that I did have a snog in a taxi with Rik once. I've just remembered it actually." Ben Elton chimed in, teasing Emma about her secret romance with Rik, saying "He would love that. He told me. He said 'I snogged Emma'". Emma's eyes widened in surprise as she retorted "Did he?"
Ben continued to probe, saying "He was very handsome," to which Emma eagerly agreed, adding "He was really beautiful." It's no wonder that Rik Mayall had a lasting impression on the actress - their brief romance has left us all wondering what could have been.
But it seems that Emma Thompson isn't the only one with secrets. The actress also revealed that Keanu Reeves had a major crush on her mother, Phyllida Law, when they worked together on the 1993 film "Much Ado About Nothing". Keanu, who is currently dating Alexandra Grant, was reportedly smitten with Emma's Scottish mum, who was 61 at the time.
Emma gushed about her mum's co-star, saying "Keanu is such a lovely person. A really lovely person." She continued to dish about his reputation as a ladies' man, stating "I know he is known and is famously seen as an actor who never puts his hand (around a woman). He is always quite self-consciously showing that he is not taking advantage. A good bloke and protecting women."
The candid conversation between Emma Thompson and Ben Elton has left us all wondering about the secret lives of our favorite celebrities. But it's not just their romantic exploits that are making headlines - the actress's latest film "Dead Of Winter" has also been generating buzz.
In this gripping thriller, Emma plays a widow who finds herself in a desperate fight for survival after interrupting the kidnapping of a teenage girl. As she navigates the treacherous terrain of snowbound Minnesota, she must confront her own dark past and learn to trust herself once again.
Gaia Wise, Emma's 25-year-old daughter, also stars in the film as the younger version of her mother's character. The young actress has been making waves in the industry with her breakout role in BBC series "Silent Witness", where she played a university student whose mother is assassinated by a health secretary.
As the family gathers to promote their latest project, it's clear that Emma Thompson and her loved ones are more than just talented performers - they're also fiercely protective of each other. With two decades of marriage under his belt, Greg Wise has been happily supporting his wife through thick and thin.
The red carpet premiere of "Dead Of Winter" saw the family turn out in style, with Emma looking stunning in a eye-catching white three-piece suit covered with green embroidery. Gaia, who looked every inch the Hollywood starlet, slipped into an elegant black strapless dress, while Greg Wise showed off his own sartorial skills in an eye-catching printed zipped jacket.
Meanwhile, Phyllida Law, 93, made a stylish appearance on the blue carpet, albeit from the comfort of her wheelchair. It's clear that this talented family is here to stay - and we can't wait to see what they have in store for us next.
