Comparisons are inevitable? BB - Few people have the confidence to take the bull by the horns / he goes upstream and faces the wind / he's brave / after a certain age you can't play Henry V you are too old / his next role should be Hamlet BB - Was it ever awkward on set because Emma Thompson is there too? Q - They were very deeply in love and that only enhances the situation - those scenes are electric because they are in love / committed artists on a journey together / she has a childlike quality and wonderfully vulnerable / they both cry at the drop of a hat
