Pictured: Kristin Scott Thomas transforms into John Lennon's Aunt Mimi for latest role
Looking businesslike in black, and with a dash of red lipstick, this is Kristin Scott Thomas as John Lennon's aunt Mimi.
The 48-year-old actress, best known for her roles as upper class ladies in films such as The English Patient, plays the formidable Liverpudlian who famously raised the young Beatle after his mother gave him up when he was five.
Miss Scott Thomas is pictured on the set of the film Nowhere Boy in Liverpool with Aaron Johnson, 18, who plays Lennon.
The movie, which also stars Anne-Marie Duff as Lennon's mother Julia, traces the early days of the singer's rise to stardom in The Quarrymen.Director Sam Taylor-Wood said: 'Mimi was strict and very proper, but she knew how to enjoy a joke, and Julia was the sister who was what today we'd call laid back.
'She was a bit bohemian and didn't take things as seriously as Mimi.
'It's the clash of these two different psychological forces that was to shape the man who would become John Lennon.'
