Good Morning Britain published this video item, entitled “Emma Thompson’s ‘Degrading’ Trunchbull Fat Suit Sparks Heated Debate | Good Morning Britain” – below is their description.
Emma Thompson is wearing a fat suit in the latest Matilda movie for her role as Ms Trunchbull. It’s not the first time the actress has worn one, the last time was in Love Actually as a middle-aged wife who gets cheated on. But some found the characterisation as “dehumanising and degrading”. Also, is casting a slim woman to play a plus-size woman excluding plus-size women from roles. So, is it insulting to wear a fat suit?
