Introduced [[Creator/StephenFry Fry]] to [[Creator/HughLaurie Laurie]], thus making her responsible for a veritable English institution. Also almost played [[Film/{{Dogma}} God]] (it was decided that Music/AlanisMorissette would be [[RuleOfFunny funnier]]). Has a very vitriolic friendship with Creator/StephenFry, who has seen her naked more than once.[[note]]She says that Fry finds the naked female body overwhelming and that one of her favorite pranks to play on him when they were younger was to lock all the doors and then sashay toward him in the nude knowing he'd have trouble opening all the locks in his terror.[[/note]]

* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: She has a bit of this. In her home in Scotland, there's a field which has a sauna and a pond which can be used by anyone using the sauna. She doesn't bother to wear clothes when travelling to and from the house to the sauna, and one night there was a knock on the door and a policeman informed her that an intruder had been seen on her property. She was alarmed, until the policeman told her that a woman walking her dog had seen a "naked 52-year-old man" walking through the field that afternoon.

* VitriolicBestBuds: She and Stephen Fry are the best of friends. Neither is afraid to ''mock the other senseless'' if the situation calls for it. Such as this conversation, for example:
-->'''Creator/EmmaThompson:''' You know the word "luvvie"?\\
'''Stephen:''' Yeah?\\
'''Emma:''' What do you all feel about it?\\
'''Stephen:''' ''[sigh]'' I mean, I'm not going to get as upset as some actors do -- some actors say, "We do a bloody hard job of work, we're serious people, you know, it's a coal face, doing a play! How dare they call us luvvies!" I think that's a bit overdone. On the other hand, it's a bit tedious when the ''Daily Mail'' says "luvvie couple XYZ," or something....\\
'''Emma:''' Do you know what the first citation of it is in the OED?\\
'''Stephen:''' No.\\
'''Emma:''' [[TomatoInTheMirror It's you.]]\\

Emma hit the roof and threatened to walk if they insisted. This being ''Emma Thompson'', aka one of the most (if not ''the'' most) bankable English actresses of her generation, she won the argument.
