Emma Thompson criticizes casting older guys with younger women

Veteran actor Emma Thompson has called out the double normal in Hollywood movies of pairing adolescent women with older men, while steering clear of doing the contrary.The 61-year-old actor believes the industry continues to be averse to the idea of older women romancing younger men and her upcoming comedy Good Luck To You, Leo Grande challenges that mindset. "

It's completely acceptable for George Clooney, who's delightful, to have somebody who is 40 years younger than him or 30 years younger than him. If I have someone playing contrary me in a romantic way, they must exhume someone, because I'm 61 now. Do you see what I mean? It's completely and utterly unbalanced," she stated on a podcast.
