Some actresses had to act in films, being pregnant! And this is a real problem for the creators of the film, because you need to disguise the growing belly of the performer so that no one "has not guessed", and this is quite difficult. In some cases, you even have to rewrite the script.
How do the directors get out of this?
Marilyn Monroe ("There are only girls in jazz")
When the shooting of this famous comedy began, it became clear that Monroe was expecting a baby. Unfortunately, the pregnancy could not save the actress from severe depression: she did not sleep well, was always late for the set, swore with colleagues, and eventually began to abuse alcohol and sleeping pills. Already after the shooting she had a miscarriage ...
Julia Roberts ("Ocean's 12 friends", "Fireflies in the Garden")
Julia Roberts was shot pregnant twice. While working on the picture of "Ocean's 12 friends," Julia was expecting the birth of twins, and shooting in "Fireflies in the Garden" was pregnant with her third child. Both times the actress did not want to hear about any disguising clothes, and the writers had to edit the scripts a little.
Catherine Zeta-Jones (Chicago)
Shooting in the musical "Chicago", Catherine was in the first trimester of pregnancy. This did not stop her from performing brilliantly almost acrobatic stunts, dancing incendiary dances and even sitting on a string! For her efforts, Catherine received an Oscar.
Penelope Cruz ("Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides")
When the shooting of the film began, it became clear that Penelope Cruz was waiting for her first child. In this regard, the sister of actress Monica Cruz was brought to work. She replaced Penelope in some scenes, so much so that no one noticed!
Reese Witherspoon (Vanity Fair)
When the shooting of the famous adaptation of Thackeray's novel began, Reese Witherspoon was already five months pregnant and went with a noticeable tummy. However, bulky and voluminous dresses of the century before last helped conceal the pregnancy of the actress.
Sarah Jessica Parker (Sex and the City)
In the fifth season of the series, 36-year-old Parker acted in film, being pregnant. Costumes had to do a tremendous job to hide the rounded belly of the actress under voluminous tunics and lush skirts.
Courteney Cox ("Friends")
In the filming of the last season of the series, Courtney Cox was pregnant. According to the plot, her heroine could not have children, so it was not possible to change the scenario and come up with a new story line with pregnancy. Costumes tried to hide Courtney's markedly rounded belly under baggy clothes, but they did not do it well ...
Lisa Kudrow ("Friends")
Lisa Kudrow admitted to the producers of the series that they are waiting for the replenishment, already in the sixth month of pregnancy. Then, a new story line was urgently invented, according to which the heroine of Lisa Phoebe became a surrogate mother and had her triplets of her brother.
Lina Hidi ("The Game of Thrones")
In the fifth season of the cult series, Hidey was photographed, being on a decent pregnancy. In one scene, the heroine of Hidey must completely naked pass the so-called path of shame. In this episode, she was replaced by a double Rebecca Von Cleve, whose body was later combined with the face of Lina.
Blake Lively ("Otmel", "Vek Adalin")
Brave Blake Lovely, being pregnant, participated in very dangerous stunts on the set of the film "Otmel". Only two weeks before the end of filming, she agreed to a double.
Previously, the actress had already starred in the movie "The Age of Adalin," and, according to colleagues, worked on a par with everyone, not feeling sorry for herself.
Scarlett Johansson ("The Avengers: The Age of the Altron")
The pregnancy of Scarlett Johansson seriously complicated the lives of the film crew members of the film "The Avengers: The Age of Altron." It was necessary to quickly change the already approved schedule of work so that the scenes with Johansson were removed first, before her stomach becomes visible. Nevertheless, in a number of episodes, Scarlett had to be replaced by an understudy: the actress got tired very quickly, and the scenes with her participation did not have time to be taken off before the pregnancy became noticeable.
Angelina Jolie (Substitution)
Angelina Jolie was extremely difficult to shoot in the drama "Substitution", where she played a mother who lost her only son. When in the middle of the filming process the actress realized that she was pregnant, she at first refused to work on the picture, but in memory of her deceased mother decided to continue filming. A few months after the shooting, Jolie had twins.
