Kristin Scott Thomas has admitted that she could perform a U-turn after pledging to give up film.
The actress, 54, who has nearly 80 credits to her name, recently told how she had grown tired of making movies, saying: “I just suddenly thought, I can’t do it any more. I’m bored by it. So I’m stopping.”
But The English Patient star, who was recently made a Dame, has admitted it might not quite be the end of the road for her on the big screen.
“I regularly come into make-up in the mornings and say, ‘This is the last film I’m ever doing’, and then go and make 10, so who knows!” she said.
“I’m a human being, I’m allowed to change my mind.”
The Gosford Park and Four Weddings And A Funeral actress returns to the stage in May to play the Queen in The Audience, a role that (fellow Dame) Helen Mirren has recently reprised on Broadway.
“I’m not quite sure what to bring to it yet. That’s the whole point of rehearsal [which she starts this week] – to find out what’s there. All I know is that it’s a very good play and a fascinating character,” she said.
Kristin, who stars in new movie Suite Francaise, added: “We learn so much about government, about what it is to be this symbol, and what it is to be a woman in that position. I’m very excited about it.”
Suite Francaise is in cinemas now.
