Actress Lily James has opened up about playing the role of Cinderella in Disney's new live-action version of the classic tale and confessed that she had to eat liquids while filming in the corset because she couldn't digest solid foods. 

Speaking to EOnline.com about squeezing into the structured garment, James explained that she had to eat soup because everything else would cause her to burp:

"When (the corset) was on, we would be on continuous days, so we wouldn't stop for lunch... You'd be sort of eating on the move. In that case, I couldn't untie the corset... If you ate food, it didn't really digest properly, and I'd be burping all afternoon in (Madden's) face, and it was just really sort of unpleasant. I'd have soup so that I could still eat but it wouldn't get stuck (sic)."

She also recently told the Los Angeles Times that her waist wasn't digitally altered in the movie: "I naturally have a really small waist. The skirt's big and the corset pulls me in and that's the point. That's the shape (the costume designer) created... I think it's a beautiful gown with a beautiful shape...  think it's all very hypocritical... and they're drawing more attention to it... I think all that stuff's so negative, and you've got to let it wash over your head. I'm so healthy. I've got hips and boobs and a bum and a small waist."
