Rachel McAdams Left Gasping in Corset
RACHEL McAdams could hardly breathe while shooting new movie Sherlock Holmes — because her corset was so tight!
The actress — who plays Irene Adler alongside Robert Downey, Jr. and Jude Law in the hotly-anticipated new Guy Ritchie flick — says she didn’t enjoy having to squeeze into her tight garments everyday during filming.
“I’m such a girly-girl so I was in heaven just dressed, being dressed from the head down and the costumes were incredible, I mean real-life corsets with the bones and totally cinched in and I would try to push my belly out in the morning when they were coming to strap me in,” she said.
“It really was like out of Gone With the Wind and I’m holding on to the trailer door and trying to seek out just a little bit of space so I can speak properly.
“But they managed to squeeze me in every day — they tried to make me laugh and on the laugh they’d yank, but it was so much fun.”
Rachel, 31, recently revealed she used to be a figure skater but gave up because she got too nervous.
“I loved figure skating but I was way too nervous,” she said. “I would often suffer from stage fright. I don’t get it on stage, I have it on the ice. It’s weird because I rarely forget my lines but I would forget my routine. My knees would knock together and I would just get super, super nervous.”
