Nicholas Hoult wore three memorable wigs in Yorgos Lanthimoss punk, puckish 18th century period drama,The Favourite.
What was it like for Hoult to act under all that hair?
[The wigs] were pretty heavy, they were pretty warm.
It took a lot of teasing and hairspray to make those wigs stay how they were.
I had three [wigs], and they all had individual names so Id know.
Introducing: Barbara, Lulu, and Hattie (unfortunately, none of them flew).
Babs was the main one, Hoult said.
Barbara but Babs for short.
Hoult came up with the names with Nadia Stacey,The Favourites hair and makeup designer.
[The wigs] were warm, and they were a fire hazard, but wonderful.
I just had to balance them on top of my head.
I think I was about eight feet tall by the time I had my heels and those things on.
