other movies

In comedies, biopics and many other movies actresses have been required to bulk-up. Here you’ll see some of the effects that were achieved with prosthetic makeup as well as fat-suits.

For the fat scenes they often wear clothes with long sleeves and higher necklines to minimise the prosthetics: but why oh why is it that so often the characters have to lose all dress sense and the ability to use makeup when they put on weight?

By the way if anyone has any info onthe forthcoming Shallow Hal which will supposedly feature Gwyneth Paltrow as a 25 stone woman! please email me.
