NEWS OF THE WEEK: Emma Thompson slams 'ageism' and 'sexism' in movies.

A new study shows movies are more likely to star a man called Chris than a woman over 60 - and Emma Thompson is not happy about it. Researchers at the Centre for Aging Better analysed the UK's top 100 highest-grossing movies from 2023-2025 and found six of them featured a male actor called Chris as the lead, while just five gave an actress over 60 top billing. .BAFTA, Oscar and Golden Globe winner Emma, 67, did not hold back her disappointment at the new statistics.
