This actress here 'Antonia Campbell-Hughes' is looking gaunt and nearly dead imo to play the role of Austrian kidnap victim Natascha Kampusch in the film 3096.
She's risking her life to play a leading role in a film and god knows what irreparable damage she may do to her body long term?
Now many brave people risk their lives in their jobs every day...Police, Army, Fire fighters to name but a few...but to do this to yourself to play a film role -why?
Am I alone in thinking that as much as the victim Natascha Kampusch deserves to have her story told...expecting and encouraging anyone to do that to their body in order to play her role is just wrong?
On top of that, this quote actually made me feel sick..."Antonia was cast in the role in April, and in June she told the Evening Standard that she was really committed to playing Natascha. The one thing that I have been adamant about is that I am playing a character in a script,? she said. ?It?s not a biopic or a case study. But playing someone real, you feel you have to give a bit more. There was an understanding from the beginning that I would suffer as much as she did
Errr no you can never 'suffer' as much as Natascha Kampusch did because you're an actress. You were not kidnapped when you were ten years old, and starved and beaten by Wolfgang Priklopil, who kept you in the cellar of his house in Austria for 3096 days before you escaped
And check out 50 cents too at the bottom of the link. He lost 4 stone in just 9 weeks to play a cancer victim...by living on a liquid diet.
Am I being unreasonable in thinking that as much as the characters in the films went through hell and should be portrayed as accurately as possible, no-one should be putting their life at risk to play the roles?
