Malin Akerman’s filming turned to torture by latex costume

Malin Akerman’s filming turned to torture by latex costumeLondon, Feb 23 : Swedish actress Malin Akerman has revealed that while filming for her new moviem she was left feeling tortured because of the skin-tight latex costume she had to wear.

Akerman, 30, said that the bondage-style get-up was so uncomfortable that she felt like "a wreck" at the end of every scene, and her long hair getting stuck in the zipper did not help much.

The ex-model plays the part of crime-busting babe Silk Spectre II in the comic book sc-fi movie `Watchmen', and she revealed that her skin would become so numb after she slipped into the costume that she ended up feeling "like an 80-year-old woman".

"It was the complete, absolute opposite of comfortable," the Daily Star quoted her as saying.

"It was already a painful challenge to do all the fight choreography in such a constricting outfit.

"But when my hair started getting snagged and pulled too because it got caught in the zips it was almost unbearable.

"I called my husband every night crying. In between my sobs I kept asking, `How did I ever think I could do this?'" she added.

The film will be released in the UK on March 6, and it is based on the dark, short-lived DC Comics series of the late 1980s. (ANI)
