Keep it Real - Breast Implants Need Not Apply...

[nubka]

That's always been the way though. Actresses like Keira Knightly and Sandra Bullock prove that you don't have to have big boobs to be bankable.

True! Nicole Kidman doesn't have gigantor boobs either, does she?

[IceAlisa]

I don't get it. They ban implants and proceed to bend over backwards to make Keira's boobs look bigger through other means.

Nope and neither does Kate Hudson.

Gwyneth Paltrow is really flat. Likewise for Natalie Portman.

Big breasts aren't mandatory for Hollywood. But like IceAlisa said, if they don't want women with breast implants, why did they give Keira digital breast implants for the movie publicity materials?

[agalisgv]

Personally I wouldn't put Bullock, Kidman, Paltrow, and Portman in the same category as Hudson and Knightly. Knightly and Hudson (particularly Hudson) are fairly flat. The other four aren't at all IMO.

The example used was for a different movie (King Arthur, not affliated with the Pirates franchise.)

Well, it would be healthier to "enhance" only the image, not the actual woman.

[manleywoman]

I purposefully didn't add Paltrow and Hudson to my list because they have major insider connections (ie: famous actor parents) to make it in Hollywood despite their chest size. The others aren't as well-connected and had to do it more on talent alone.

But didn't they paint her cleavage for the Pirates to make it look bigger?

I think everyone gets their cleavage painted. The wonders of makeup.

Never heard of it before this.

True, but why do any enhancement at all?

[gkelly]

I worked in summer stock the summer after high school.

After one dress rehearsal, the director gave a note listing which female cast members should paint their cleavage. It was all the women whose costumes didn't cover it up.

So, yeah.

[Anita18]

It's show business, they worry about how all kinds of things look. It's certainly not just breasts.

I was watching Gerard Butler on Leno last night and he was telling stories of how they had to glue his left ear down for Tomb Raider because it stuck out further than his right ear. And on cold days the glue wouldn't stick so his makeup artist would spend the entire day cupping her hands around his head between takes.

I seriously doubt that a normal person would have noticed that. I barely notice Stephen Colbert's wonky ear.

Yes, but my point was that they don't want artificially enhanced breasts in the film and yet artificially enhance breasts themselves.

[bobalina77]

I just read a Cosmo article on how to make it look like you have more cleavage with make-up.. so it's not just in movies

[Anita18]

It's easier to add shadows with makeup than cover up bad implants?

The makeup for filming and/or photoshopping for posters is also likely to look more "real" than those oversized, melon-shaped post-implant breasts (although perhaps after more than a decade of seeing so many of them, a good portion of the population thinks that's what natrual breasts look like).

Definitely less than half of the population, since the other half presumably have breasts of their own to compare.

Whether they think theirs is "normal" is another thing entirely but....anyway.

I'm thinking that the pirate wench costumes are unforgiving of the telltale signs that breast implants create, and the costume department doesn't want to have to deal with it this time.

That's what I was thinking too. A shirt can hide a lot of flaws, but a corset really puts everything, um, out there.
