want to wear a fake nose.
The star signed up to play waitress Krystal but was left unimpressed when
she discovered she would have to don a prosthetic nose, bushy eyebrows and
braided hairstyle for the part.
A film insider told the New York Daily News newspaper: “Mariah is the nicest
person to work with - everyone loves her. But she was uncomfortable at being
made ugly for the part.
“When she saw the nose, she called her people and decided against it. She
wasn’t a diva about it, but she did seem very insecure about her
appearance.”
In the film, directed by Aaron Woodley, Mariah’s character Krystal sets off
with her two brothers, Carter and Ellis, in search of their father.
A source close to producer Lee Daniels denied Mariah had been asked to wear
an unattractive fake nose.
Nicole Kidman donned a prosthetic nose to play Virginia Woolf in 2002’s ‘The
Hours’ – a role which earned her the Best Actress Oscar at the 2003 Academy
Awards ceremony.
Mariah says no to ugly.
