Helena Bonham Carter Wants Sympathy
Posted by Adam
HELENA Bonham Carter has been lying about how long she spent in the make-up chair for new movie Alice In Wonderland.
The British actress — who stars alongside Anne Hathaway and Johnny Depp in the eagerly awaited flick — says her costume for the movie was so outlandish it gives her the right to demand sympathy, so she has been a little flexible with the truth.
“I just said hours for the sympathy,” she says. “They put a bald cap on me and got rid of my hairline, then put my beauty make-up on — that took some time — then my huge wig.
“They didn’t blow my head up every morning. They did that on camera. I had this one camera — there are two cameras in the world that do this, they just blow your head up. I had this huge camera dedicated to me, which was fine by me. I just exaggerated for the sympathy.”
Helena — who raises two kids with Alice director Tim Burton — recently played down her “posh” reputation.
“Everyone thinks I’m posh but that’s shallow thinking and the biggest lie,” she said.
“They only think that because I’ve got three names — but that doesn’t make you posh.”
