Emily Blunt reveals corset-wearing secrets
February 25, 2009
Emily Blunt has revealed that she had to wear a traditional corset every day while filming her new movie, The Young Victoria.
The English actress plays a young Queen Victoria in the historical film, which focuses on the monarch's early life and her relationship with Prince Albert.
Prince Albert is played by Rupert Friend, the actor boyfriend of another corset-wearing actress, Keira Knightley.
The 26-year-old actress said of the corset she wears: "Every day I have to wear it. They put it on me in the morning then they loosen it off for lunch."
Meanwhile, she added to the Press Association that the crown caused her some difficulties.
She explained: "The crown has left a dent in my head which they just cover with make-up so I don't look frightening to you. But it's remarkably heavy, but it wobbles so I have to make everything very slow."
Emily also revealed that the gowns were "beautiful" but she grew tired of people standing on her train.
