Emma Thompson 'doesn't want immortality'

Emma Thompson has reportedly revealed that she is not interested in immortality.

According to The Mirror, the 51-year-old actress said that she thinks it's a "terrible thing" to want to be remembered forever.

She explained: "I think it's a terrible thing to want and it's a peculiarly masculine thing to want monuments."

Thompson also revealed how pleased she was to have a star with her name on it outside British pub The Pig And Whistle.

She said: "I can't tell you how thrilled I am with where it is.

"I'm going to get really well worn. Lots of people will probably have been sick all over me, there will be all sorts of horror, I'm the one that's going to be seeing all the action, it's great."
