I’ve been ignoring most of the photos from the Men In Black III promotional tour. It’s always a slippery slope, and I’m often surprised by which celebrity stories get the most comments, and which celebrities you want to see more of. Mostly I feel like Josh Brolin isn’t worth his own post, and unless Will Smith is posing awkwardly with his wife or getting jiggy with some other man or woman, he’s not super-interesting either. But all this time, I had forgotten that my girl Emma Thompson is in MIB III. I LOVE HER. And she’s out there, promoting her supporting part in the film too – these are photos of Emma at yesterday’s UK premiere. Doesn’t she look great? For her, I mean. Emma is never really fashionable or anything, and this Maria Grachvogel suit looks like something out of Miami Vice. But her un-mangled, un-Botoxed face! Her hair! Her smile! I love her.
Emma brought her husband, Greg Wise, and her daughter Gaia to the premiere as well. Gaia usually doesn’t get photographed that much, and the last time I saw the 12-year-old, she had longer, ginger-ish hair. She’s now got this super-cute bob hair which is very matchy-matchy with her mom. I think the longer hair made her look more like a kid – this is a more “mature” look for someone so young. Still, Gaia is a really beautiful young lady. Gaia is wearing a dress from Zara!
The Mail had a story with these photos, and they used some older quotes from Emma, talking about motherhood and work, and they just reminded me of how much I love her. Emma says:
“I don’t want your readers ever to think they have to have it all. I think that’s a revolting concept. It’s so false! Sometimes you’ll have some things, and sometimes you’ll have other things. And you do not need it all at once; it’s not good for you. You can’t be a great mum and work the whole time necessarily; those two things aren’t ideal. We have an awful lot to work on and to debate about in relation to our working lives, because it isn’t working for a lot of people, particularly for a lot of women. The only way you can have it all is by delegating all the running of the home to other people – which I don’t ever want to do… So you do it yourself, and it takes time and energy and effort. And if you give it the time, it’s profoundly enjoyable.”
I’m also including photos of Will Smith and Josh Brolin. Is anyone else getting “sad” vibes from Will? Like, I look at photos of him and I feel like he’s sad and he’s going through some stuff. As for Josh… I know he’s probably a total dirtbag in real life, but I would hit that so hard. I’m insanely attracted to him (and all dirtbags).

That’s a Mini Emma!!!
Willoughby! He looks fine!
“Will you not shake hands with me?” I have so much love for that movie and Winslet’s Marianne.
Me too! *sigh*
Me too! I have watched that movie at least 150 times, no lie.
Oh my god, he is! I have to go look for my DVD now. You all are getting me in a Jane Austen mood.
Jane Austen forever! He was great as Willoughby! 😉
Wow, I haven’t seen that actor since S&S. He’s held up well and he and Emma look the same age now, even though she’s a good bit older than him, right? They’re daughter looks like a perfect mixture of both of them. Very nice looking family.
Emma is 7 years older than Greg. I IMDb’d it 🙂
If you like him, you have to see him in “The Bucaneers”. Lovely series. He was very romantic, Mira Sorvino gorgeous, costumes gorgeous, Carla Gugino a young pretty thing. He had a nice little turn in BBC series “Zen” too.
Seriously – mentioning JB (ugh) when Willoughby!!! is in the picture is just silly. And Emma Thompson is a supremely worthy spouse for him.
I haven’t seen him in years. He could get it.
They are both adorable. Sadly, not even Emma with all her awesomeness could entice me to see MIIB3. I’ll console myself with her other projects.
We really don’t need (and don’t care about) another MIB movie. Just a $ making exercise. Boycotting because of JB & Smith. Emma is awesome though.
Emma looks gorgeous. A walking advert for no plastic surgery. The photo with just her and her daughter is beautiful (the semi profile one). She looks so proud. Love her, I really do.
I love Emma Thompson, and I love Greg Wise! Funny, this is the first time I’ve seen a picture of their daughter since she was a baby. Sweet. 🙂 They look like a nice family.
Emma is one of my favorite actresses! I have watched (and cried) many times with her in WIT and I was very sad when she and Kenneth Branaugh divorced as I love both of them – especially in Henry V.
Her and Helen Mirren are class acts all the way!
Right? I still mourn the ending of that marriage. I love Kenneth Branagh so much.
Oh thank goodness! I thought I was the only one, feeling sad when she and Branagh parted ways!
I have always loved Emma Thompson, her sense of humor and wit are fantastic. Such a touch of class and grace. I think I will also pass on this movie, but I love so many other Emma Thompson projects.
At 53, Emma looks exactly right and wonderfully approachable. Terrific talent!!!
Love to see a 12 year old girl dressed appropriately and not trying to be sexy. She is following in her mothers footsteps of being a class act. So refreshing.
This bitch cost around $375 million dollars to make so it better be a hit
I love so much that she is married to Willoughby!!!! She is and always will be wonderful.
i would request she do another movie with Alan Rickman and Hugh Grant. 🙂
*sigh*…You might want to hit it, but in this case, it will hit you back. Just ask DL…
I get the skeevy vibe from Josh Brolin; always have. Don’t think he’s such a nice fella.
Adorbs, just adorbs!
Oh they have matching hair-doos!! I think I’m going to splort from the utter adorableness of them!!!
I love Emma Thompson. Everything she does is a class act. I love her intelligence, talent, and wit. And her daughter is so pretty–just like her mama! I *might* actually go see this movie just because of her. Might.
I love the fact that Emma is so real — it’s wonderful to see someone aging with grace! She and her daughter are adorable, as is her hubby.
Wait. That is her husband. Hubba Hubba!!!
Love her/them! Who is the other lady in the picture of the 4?
I didn’t know she was married to Willoughby. Too bad the character broke Kate Winslet’s heart. 🙁
Gaia Wise is a beautiful young woman. Her outfit is perfect!
Will Smith looks like a d-bag. I get such douchey vibes from him.
Emma is radiant!
I love that Gaia has braces! I had them too at that age, so i have a soft spot for kids with braces going through their awkward years.
No plastic surgery, no botox, no hair extensions, no trashy outfit, no spider eyelashes…they both look beautiful!
Her daughter will be a unique beauty, just like her! Love that family pic, they look happy.
Is it me, or does Gaia Wise look strikingly like Sophie Turner (Sansa from Game of Thrones)?
It’s so nice to see a family picture of Emma, Greg and Gaia. They seem like genuinely nice and awesome people.
