Emily Blunt's body was left numb from filming
The Young Victoria.
The actress, who plays the former British monarch Queen Victoria in the period film, has revealed the corsets she wore were so restrictive she couldn't feel her body during shooting. She said, "I learned how to survive when they lace you tight. It takes getting used to. You must inhale so your rib cage expands. This way, after you're all done up you can have room to breathe. After a day's shooting, I'd instantly put on sweat pants. I needed something comfy. I needed to feel my inner organs working again!"
However, one thing she did enjoy about the period outfits was that she didn't have to wear high heels. Emily added, "We wore flats under those huge, voluminous gowns, which, in fact, they actually did in the early period. They wore ballet boots."
