EXPLAINED: Truly traumatised emma thompson explains why intimacy coordinators are absolutely essential | Vintage Vibes

LBC, HBO

Emma Thompson has passionately advocated for intimacy coordinators on set, saying that the demands put on women in shows such as Game of Thrones was “absolutely outrageous”.

Speaking to Andrew Marr on LBC, Thompson, 63, said: “I think if you’re a young woman on a set, which is largely peopled by men, the crew will be 90 per cent men and the women won’t be on the set with you, because generally speaking we do not have parity on any level on film sets. It’s all men.”
