Kristin Scott Thomas has described a lack of film roles for actresses in their 50s as "a disaster".
Speaking on BBC One's Andrew Marr Show, the actress said the situation facing older actresses was "boring" but "true".
Scott Thomas said: "I won't bore you with all the stories of older women not getting jobs in film because it's so boring. But it's true. It's a disaster."
When asked why it was boring, she explained: "Because it's never going to change.
"Until the average lifespan is 150 years or something, I don't think women in their 50s are going to be considered at all viable," she continued.
"I think that's what it is. Sorry."

Every move has been tracked by fanboys, from the casting of Martin Freeman as Bilbo and Benedict Cumberbatch as the dragon Smaug to the return of the king, Peter Jackson, to take over directing from Guillermo del Toro.
