Emma Thompson tells naked truth about 'intruder' "Picturing immediately an axe man behind a bush, I said, "Really, when? What sort of an intruder? ""Well," he said, "There was a dog walker coming up through the path, saw a naked man, about 50 years old, coming through your field." And I was really worried, it was terrifying. The officer said the sighting had taken place earlier that afternoon. Miss Thompson's 12-year-old daughter, Gaia, then put two and two together. Miss Thompson said: "From behind me, on the stairs,Gaia, in her PJs, was going, "Wasn't that about the time that you came up from the river, mum?" Because behind the house there's a field and a pond. And there's sheep in the field, but they don't mind if I walk up naked. "And I thought, "Oh my God, oh my God." Making the connection, I could see the same thing happening to the policeman. And I could see him, as he backed off, and I was thinking, he's going to go back to the station and he's going to say, "You see that Emma Thompson? Her ---- must be so low that from a distance they read as testicles. I nearly lifted up my nightie to show that they're not that bad. Miss Thompson recounted the story during an appearance on ITV1"s The Jonathan Ross Show last night. A spokesman for Strathclyde Police confirmed the incident. The actress and her husband, Greg Wise, have their main home in north-west London but spend four months of the year at the croft near Dunoon, where they married in 2003. She has holidayed there since childhood, when the cottage belonged to her parents, Phyllida Law, the Scottish-born actress, and Eric Thompson, writer and narrator of The Magic Roundabout. It is close to the picturesque Loch Eck, an area that Miss Thompson describes as "part of my DNA." She has said: "I've played on its banks, picnicked on its beaches, swum in its chilly, unsalted depths, cycled round it, drunk it, got drunk near it, kissed in boats on it, got married near it and ever wearied of it." The star of Love Actually, Nanny McPhee and Last Chance Harvey knows how to tell an entertaining yarn. During one US chat show appearance, she had the audience in fits of laughter when she joked that "they stone homosexuals" on the the Isle of Wight. Local council leaders failed to see the funny side and complained that Miss Thompson had smeared the islanders. She later wrote a letter of apology, explaining that she had got her geography wrong and was actually talking about the Isle of Man.
