Emma Thompson, 64, cuts a casual figure in beige jumper as she enjoys afternoon outing with her daughter Gaia Wise, 23

Dame Emma Thompson enjoyed a day of shopping in Hampstead with her daughter Gaia Wise, who struggled to carry a lemon plant on Saturday.

The Hollywood legend, 64, wore a casual look in an oversized gray sweater and beige pants.

The Harry Potter star wore cozy trainers, keeping her comfortable on her morning walk as she pushed a bike with her.

Dame Emma looked relaxed as she was caught chatting to 24-year-old Gaia, who appeared to be having difficulty transporting the plant, which was still sealed after purchase.

The actress – who followed directly in her famous parents’ footsteps – donned black leggings and fended off the cold with a black jacket and mustard-colored scarf.

The Last Chance Harvey star also wore cream sneakers and accessorized with a pink beanie and sunglasses.

The duo enjoyed a mother-daughter outing as Emma carried a bag from Waterstones, as well as her puffed jacket and a tote bag.

Emma welcomed Gaia with actor and Strictly star Greg Wise, 57, in 1999 and the lovebirds later married in 2003.

Despite her marital bliss with Greg, the Dead Again sensation has described romantic love as a ‘myth’ that can be quite ‘dangerous’.

The Love Actually star said people need to think ‘sensibly’ about love and how to nurture it.

“It is philosophically useful and uplifting to remember that romantic love is a myth and quite dangerous,” she told the Radio Times.

‘We really have to take it with a grain of salt. It is essential to think wisely about love and how it can grow.

‘Long-term relationships are extremely difficult and complicated. If anyone thinks “happily ever after” has a place in our lives, forget it.

The Oscar-winning actress has had her fair share of heartbreak in the past following her very public split from her first husband, Sir Kenneth Branagh.

The pair married in 1989 and were the golden couple of the British acting scene until Sir Kenneth had an affair with Helena Bonham Carter while directing her in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.

Dame Emma and Sir Kenneth, 62, divorced in 1995 and he continued to date Miss Bonham Carter until 1999.

Dame Emma said she drew on her real-life heartbreak while playing her Love Actually character, who is betrayed by her husband, played by Alan Rickman.

“That scene where my character is standing by the bed crying is so famous because it’s something that everyone has experienced,” she said in a 2018 interview.

Dame Emma has also admitted she still struggles with the ‘pressure’ of awards shows. ‘Both times I had to do the Oscars I became seriously ill. “I found the pressure and the glare of it to be too much,” she said.

‘It’s amazing – and then you want to lie down in a dark room afterwards. You think, ‘Please don’t ask me questions or make me talk about myself.’
