Millie Bobby Brown plays the main role in the adventure film “The Lady”, which can be watched on the platform from the beginning of March. As a royal daughter in medieval fantasy, she had to wear an elaborate dress with a corset. The outfit, stylized as a period costume, required considerable sacrifices from her.
Netflix. Millie Bobby Brown had to go on a diet for the movie “Lady”.
Corsets are very rarely used nowadays and we rarely choose clothes that specifically restrict movements or shape the figure. In the past, people (mainly women) who put on corsets got used to this element of clothing from childhood. Millie Bobby Brown didn’t have that much time to study. In “The Lady”, the corset accompanies her from the first to the last scenes of the film.
In order to wear it and feel comfortable, the actress had to adjust her diet. She couldn’t eat foods that would make her bloated, and she had to cut out all heavier dishes for the duration of the shoot. What’s worse, the corset makes breathing difficult, which forces the wearer to move their muscles differently:
I had to figure out a different way to breathe. You don’t normally think about it, but here I had no choice. I had to eat other things for lunch. Breathe differently. You can’t eat anything too heavy, or they’ll make you jump from cave to cave. You can’t eat too much fat either, because, you know, you have to stay in shape. Navigating something like this is very difficult, she said in an interview for Collider.
The role in “The Lady” was physically demanding, but the actress admitted that she did not prepare for it in any special way. She couldn’t suddenly gain muscle mass because her heroine is thrown into the whirlwind of events without such preparation.
I didn’t prepare because my heroine has to go through all this without preparation. I decided that why should I train specifically and learn climbing when she would later make mistakes on the screen? In the movie I’m constantly falling, falling or falling. And it was true. Besides… I don’t like training, she said in an interview with Extra.
