Emma Thompson threatened to quit her upcoming movie Brideshead Revisited after learning the film's producers had ordered her co-star Hayley Atwell to lose weight.
The Oscar winner was so outraged when she found out Atwell was under instructions to lose a few pounds before shooting began on the movie, she demanded producers accept her size - or she'd resign.
Atwell says, "I went round to Emma's one night and she was getting very angry that I wasn't eating all the food she was giving me. I told her why and she hit the roof."
