Emma Thompson As Nanny McPhee

When Emma Thompson made Nanny McPhee in 2005, she committed to it warts and all. In fact, her makeup was so convincing that her young co-stars felt uneasy when they first saw her in character. Good thing Thompson got to lose the prosthetic nose, teeth, and nest-like hairpiece over the course of shooting as her character arc progressed.

Besides, that was just a small price to pay for the box office success that the film enjoyed. After returning for a sequel in 2010, we hear the two-time Oscar winner is now set to direct and co-write a stage musical based on the Nanny McPhee movies.
