She has done nudity in her past but having children does change things for a lady. She said in an interview,

‘I mean I’ve been described in the Press before as a character actor who gets laid, which I think is a great description, but as the years go by you get laid less and less on screen and then you sort of stop ... And then suddenly here I am. It was pretty cool although I did have to kind of swallow a few times when I read the script.’

A pretty sad and tragic thing happened in her life when her mother was sick. She immediately returned to London in order to take care of her mother but sadly her mother passed away right after she arrived in the capital city.

But thanks to the support and love of her husband she was able to move on from the death of her mother. The couple currently resides in Greenwich, London with their children and we haven't heard of any sort of controversies faced by the couple so far.

She's Not Going For Nude Scenes Anymore:

The Apple Tree Yard star Emily Watson is a woman with children. So when she was asked to perform some nudes on the show, she denied. There is a certain age to do all of it and she did it at that time but running it all again on your 50's is a little difficult task.

When she was asked to do and read the scripts, she said,

“Wow. This is a lot. Do I really want to do this?”

Seems like the actress does not want to retain the past screening material she did and just wants to act normally without any nudes included.

Emily Watson's Career:

Emily's career began at the theatres with several performances which includes working with the Royal Shakespeare Company. She made her first film debut when director Lars von Trier chose her to act in the movie Breaking the Waves which won her the Los Angeles, London and New York Critics' Circle Awards and an Oscar Nomination as well.

She then appeared in the movie Hilary and Jackie for which she again received another Oscar Nomination. She also appeared in The Luzhin Defence alongside John Turturro in 2001. The gorgeous actress received a Golden Globe nomination for her role as Anne How in the movie The Life and Death of Peter Seller.
