The particular actress was totally dedicated to embodying Tammy Faye’s look as well as her persona — seriously, check it out (below):
We can all agree this is the pretty major metamorphosis for the Zero Dark Thirty star. And apparently, it came at a cost. Jessica told the Los Angeles Times :
“ I think for sure I’ ve done some permanent damage to my skin on this. Listen, I eat very pure, and I take really good care of my pores and skin and I stay out of the sun and all that stuff. But it’ s heavy. And when you’ re wearing it all day, every day — the particular weight of it on your body, it stretches your skin out. I finally took it off, and I was like, ‘ We look 50 years old! ’ No, I’ m kidding. But it’ s fine. It’ s for my art. ”
Skin care wasn’t the only concern about typically the intense cosmetics, however. She recalled:
“ Typically the very first test I did was difficult, honestly. I mean, we fixed it. But I actually was freaked out. I was like, ‘ I don’t know how to act like this. ’ People think it’s easier, but it’s not. You have to reach through the makeup — you can’t let the makeup be this performance. She was so emotional, and I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able in order to get emotional with all this things all over me. Am My partner and i going to be able to see people and feel free? I just had to get used to it. So much for me is My spouse and i have to trick my mind. ”
Simply sitting in the makeup chair to be able to have all of it applied was a new challenge in and of itself, often the 44-year-old revealed:
“ The longest was actually 7 ½ hours. And I got to set and I was so panicky. I started for you to have hot flashes because it is so heavy and hot. I just was afraid. It was like going on a long-distance flight every day. Because if it takes 7 ½ hours to put on, it’s going to take at least two hours to get off. It was concerning to help me. I was worried about my circulation. By the time I got on set that will first day that was seven ½ hours, I was such as, ‘ I have no energy left. ’ And she’s supposed towards show up with so much energy. That was the ’90s look — the very end. That’s the most prosthetics I’ve worn. Even the bronzer and your foundation are so much darker, the lashes are thicker. This makeup gets heavier as she gets older. ”
Asked whether the kindly TV personality was the most “ extreme” role she’s ever taken, the exact Golden Globe winner replied:
“ Oh, for sure. For sure, for sure, for sure. It’s the hardest. Also, singing. The day I went to do it, I tweeted something just like: ‘I am living off of bourbon and Throat Coat. ’ Because I was so scared. I actually drank Throat Coat tea with whiskey while I was doing the singing. I’m not hardcore like that! But I has been like, there’s no way that I can be this nervous, plus that was my get-ya-through-it recipe. ”
Damn! We can’t wait to see the very results of her hard work. We hope Jessica is treating the woman skin very delicately after almost all that, though!
