Emma Thompson gets Hollywood star outside a pub

Emma Thompson has revealed she is happy with her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame as it is outside a pub.


"I'm right outside a pub, which couldn't be better because I love pubs and I love drinking. Not something that you can easily admit to in Los Angeles because no one drinks here and they're very puritanical about it, which I don't approve of because it's a very spiritual activity," the Academy-award winner joked.


Fellow British actor Hugh Laurie was on hand to help honour his friend, although he revealed slightly more than Emma may have liked.


"We actually stepped out briefly together as teenagers, until she dumped me for a mime artist," he said.


Emma's Nanny McPhee co-star Maggie Gyllenhaal also posed for pictures when the star was unveiled on Friday.
