Dame Emma Thompson enjoyed a shopping spree in Hampstead alongside her daughter Gaia Wise, who struggled to carry a lemon plant on Saturday.
The Hollywood legend, 64, sported a casual look in an oversized grey jumper and beige trousers.
The Harry Potter star rocked cosy trainers, keeping it comfortable for her morning stroll as she pushed a bike with her.
Dame Emma looked relaxed as she was captured chatting to Gaia, 24, who seemed struggling to transport the plant, still sealed on after the purchase.
The actress – who followed right into her famous parents’ footsteps – donned black leggings and bundled up against the cold with a black jacket and mustard scarf.
The Last Chance Harvey star also wore cream trainers and accessorised with a pink beanie and shades.
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 tied knot later on in 2003.
Despite her wedded bliss with Greg, however, the Dead Again sensation has described romantic love as a ‘myth’ that can be quite ‘dangerous’.
The Love Actually star said that people should think ‘sensibly’ about love and how to nurture it.
‘It’s philosophically helpful and uplifting to remember that romantic love is a myth and quite dangerous,’ she told the Radio Times.
‘We really do have to take it with a massive pinch of salt. To think sensibly about love and the way it can grow is essential.
‘Long-term relationships are hugely difficult and complicated. If anyone thinks that happy 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 break-up with first husband, Sir Kenneth Branagh.
The pair wed in 1989 and were the British acting scene’s golden couple 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 well known because it’s something everyone’s been through,’ she said in an interview in 2018.
Dame Emma has also admitted she still struggles with the ‘pressure’ of awards ceremonies. ‘Both times I had to do the Oscars I got seriously ill. I found the pressure and glare of it too much,’ she said.
‘It’s astonishing – and then afterwards you want to lie down in a dark room. You think, “Please don’t ask me any questions or make me talk about myself”.’
