Rosamund Pike Says Her Body Was Reworked For Johnny English Poster

Rosamund Pike is currently enjoying a global audience with the Netflix hit “I Care a Lot”, in which she plays the role of a shady legal guardian who drains the bank accounts of her elderly neighborhoods. Recent press has given her the opportunity to look back on her career as an Oscar nominee for “Gone Girl,” and more, including a role in the 2011 action comedy “Johnny English Reborn.” Speaking virtually on “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” Pike took the opportunity to address an issue she had previously alluded to, which was that her body was being altered and pictured for that movie poster.

“For the Johnny English poster [Reborn], my breasts were enlarged, ”she says. “In the poster for the character’s photo, I have a very impressive chest, which I don’t have.”

Pike also said that for a more recent film, “Radioactive” from last year in which she played the role of Marie Curie, the color of her eyes had been changed to her bewilderment.

“For ‘Radioactive’, strangely, they made my eyes brown. I still don’t know why. A sort of nut-brown color. “

She added, in the clip which you can watch below, that she also wondered how many other times her body had been photographed without her realizing it.

“These are the obvious moments, right?” When you notice, “Oh, I have brown eyes” or “I have huge breasts”. But there are probably countless times our image is tampered with and we don’t notice it, ”she said. “Because I think we’re all losing our grip on what we really look like.”

Pike is not the only actress who said she was photoshopped in advertising media. Zendaya, another actress with a current Netflix movie thanks to “Malcolm & Marie,” referred to the body modification she was given in Modeliste Magazine in 2015, writing on Instagram: “A new shoot came out today and I was shocked when I found my 19 year old hips and torso quite manipulated. These are the things that make women self-aware, that create the unrealistic ideals of beauty that we have.

“I Care a Lot,” starring Pike and directed by J Blakeson, is now on Netflix. Read the IndieWire review here.
