Milla Jovovich Demanded Musketeers Dresses
Milla Jovovich insisted her husband Paul W.S. Anderson make her character in 'Three Musketeers' wear period outfits for her action scenes.
Milla Jovovich insisted her 'Three Musketeers' character wore period dresses.
The 35-year-old beauty plays swashbuckling spy Milady de Winter in the new movie - which is directed by her husband Paul W.S. Anderson - and insisted on a change from the original costumes to make her character more believable.
She said: "With Milady de Winter, when the first costume drawings came in, they had pants for all her action sequences.
"I said, 'No, the point is you want to see the woman who looks like she stepped out of a Rembrandt portrait take out a sword and start fighting. Not some science fiction weird woman in pants.' "
Milla admits the costumes were uncomfortable, but thinks the restrictive outfits further showed how tough her character was.
She explained: "Of course it was hard. Corsets were created to keep women docile.
"Dresses then were for women who sat and drank tea. So, to me, just the fact that Milady de Winter can do the things she does dressed in the way she is shows that she could kick every musketeer's butt."
