This weekend was the premiere of the Disney movie «Cruella», where the iconic villain gets his very own background story. Several are already obsessed with the film’s punk character from London in the 70’s.
There is no doubt that especially the outfits in the film attract attention, and VGs reviewer thought the Oscar award for best costume design should already be in the box.
In the film, you meet Emma Stone (32) in the title role, dressed from head to toe in the rawest creations. The arch-enemy, played by Emma Thompson (62), is also dressed as a fashion icon.
In an interview with «Lorraine» she can describe the costumes as anything but comfortable. It turns out that during the glam she fights against so-called shapewear, which tightens around the body.
– As a tool of torture. I do not like underwear at all. I stopped using it a long time ago. That’s not my thing. I do not like comfortable underwear. I think comfortable underwear is uncomfortable, she says while opponent Stone wipes away tears of laughter.

Thompsen thus makes no secret of the fact that Hollywood glam has its price, and that one should not completely trust what appears on the screen.
– The underwear that was required to give me that shape can only be described as “industrial”. It’s like squeezing a toothpaste tube in the middle. The content will go up and down, creating a shape. If you put «mr. Blobby “into that corset, he wants to look good,” she says humorously.
Thompson is no stranger to offering himself in interviews, and has spoken several times straight from the liver.
– I did everything I could get my hands on: I was a stand-up comedian and performed. I was out. And yes – I liked men, I liked sex, I liked drinking, I liked drugs. I mean, I had fun, she’s said before Dagbladet about 20 years.
She is either not foreign to activism, and has joined the climate protesters Extinction Rebellion and demonstrated.
Also the Norwegian government and oil drilling she has been hard on. It was in connection with Statoil’s planning to carry out a drilling operation in Kropfjell – the northernmost on the Norwegian shelf ever.
“The Norwegian government, one of the first to sign the environmental agreement in Paris, has just given permission to drill for oil in Arctic waters,” she wrote at the time in an open letter to politicians.
