10 Actors and Actresses Who Hated Their Costumes
Have you ever wondered how Mark Ruffalo felt when Marvel painted him green for his role
as the Hulk?
It had to be itchy and hot, right?
Throughout Hollywood history, there have always been actors and actresses that just flat-out
didn't like their costumes for one reason or another.
Here are ten picks.
Andrew Garfield in Spiderman If there's one thing the Spidey costume is
besides awesome, it's tight.
Like really tight.
If you've ever worn lycra biking gear, then you can imagine how it must have felt to walk
down the street.
The only difference is that Andrew Garfield has paparazzi hounding him constantly, taking
less than flattering shots of...well, everything.
Gal Gadot in Wonder Woman Gal Gadot is one of the most popular actresses
out there today, especially with her role in the Wonder Woman movie.
But Gal has a few things to say about the costume -- notably about how tight it is.
According to her, she could barely breathe when the costume team dressed her because
of the way they set up the riggings.
That said, the costume is both honoring the Amazonian warrior roots of the character,
while amping up the sex appeal.
Costume or no costume, its Gal's talents are what will make or break the movie.
Rebecca Romijn in X-Men While she might have made a wonderful Mystique,
Rebecca Romijn was not pleased with her costume.
To tell the truth, there was no costume -- just make up.
Applying the trademark blue Mystique paint took four women a bit under eight hours to
complete, and even then it required touching up throughout the day.
Rebecca filmed her parts totally nude, despite having full-body paint.
She even stated in an interview that she was in denial about it, embarrassed because she
was the only one who didn't get to wear a costume.
Ryan Reynolds in Green Lantern Bet you thought we'd talk about Deadpool,
didn't you?
Ryan Reynold's love for the Deadpool character -- and his costume, the "big red body condom"
as he calls it -- is well known.
The Green Lantern costume, on the other hand, is entirely CGI.
During filming, Reynolds actually wore a motion capture suit the entire time, an experience
that he called 'absolutely brutal.'
Christopher Mintz-Plasse in Kick-Ass Christopher Mintz-Plasse rose to fame for
Superbad, but most comic book geeks know him for his role as Chris D'Amico in Kick-Ass
where he co-starred with Chloe Moretz.
Of course, his costume in the second film was a bit more...eye-raising.
The bondage gear, according to him, was a "pain in the ass to wear.
Literally."
We'll let you figure out what he means by that.
It shouldn't be too difficult, given the amount of leather and spikes on that outfit.
Ouch.
Olivia Munn The world has waited a long time for a proper
Psylocke costume, but maybe some thing shouldn't be too accurate.
Olivia Munn has lamented the difficulty involved in getting into her too-tight costume.
According to Munn, the costume team has to lubricate both her and the costume before
she is able to slide into it -- and the first time she wore the costume, it broke in a couple
of indelicate places.
Maybe a size bigger would help?
Scarlet Johansson in Avengers Black Widow may be a lot of people's favorite
character, but it was not Scarlet's favorite role.
According to her, the costume felt quite similar to a wet suit -- so hot that she would have
to wring her socks out at the end of the day.
That sounds pleasant.
In fact, her costume was so hot that she came close to heat stroke in several fight scenes.
It makes you wonder how she feels about her costume in Ghost in the Shell film.
Christian Bale in Batman He's Batman.
Who wouldn't want to be Batman?
Someone who wants to go to the bathroom without help, that's who.
When Ben Affleck took over the role of the Dark Knight, Christian Bale had a simple piece
of advice for him: don't pee in the Batsuit.
Apparently the costume is difficult to get on and off, and any trip to the bathroom requires
a bit of assistance.
Emma Watson in Harry Potter For all the love that Harry Potter inspires
in fans, there is one element that divides them: Hermione's hair.
In the books, she is described as disheveled and a bit frumpy.
In the movies, Emma Watson is anything but.
There may be a reason her hair looks normal throughout the films, though, and the reason
is that Emma Watson hated Hermione's hair.
She complained about it on multiple occasions.
Watson's work as a role model for young women has since continued, with her refusing to
wear a corset in the live action Beauty and the Beast film.
According to Watson, she wanted to be an active princess and the corset would get in the way
of that.
Margot Robbie in Suicide Squad Margot Robbie is everyone's favorite nerd,
but she took issue with the Harley Quinn costume she had to wear in Suicide Squad.
Even though she understands the importance of the characters outfit, it still made her
a bit self-conscious.
The super-tight tee shirt and super-short shorts would make anyone self conscious, but
it's exacerbated by the fact she has to function in between takes while wearing soaking wet
clothing.
Our favorite actors and actresses suffer through a lot to better play their parts, and we thank
them for it.
