Actress Lily James says she had soup while filming "Cinderella"for proper digestion of food.
"I think I may be trying to get sympathy a bit there. I'm being a bit over the top," she told eonline.com when asked about her corset-ready diet.
"When (the corset) was on we would be on continuous days so we wouldn't stop for lunch or a lovely tea like this-you'd be sort of eating on the move. In that case, I couldn't untie the corset.
"So if you ate food it didn't really digest properly and I'd be burping all afternoon in (Richard Madden)'s face, and it was just really sort of unpleasant. I'd have soup so that I could still eat but it wouldn't get stuck," she added.
The corset for James' blue ball gown was only used for a small part of filming the live-action Disney film.
