In a new interview with Elizabeth Banks, who plays Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games, the actress reveals the behind-the-scenes work it takes to become the favorite character from the book series!
The Boston Herald spoke with Banks as she was promoting Man on a Ledge:
It’s about 2 and a half hours to go full effie. When I get to wear gloves, it’s 45 minutes less. I really I tried to wear gloves as much as possible because once I had the nails on, I couldn’t barely pick up this picture, send texts, dial a phone, go to the bathroom, zip, button. Very much put me in the mindset of the character, because I bet Effie has someone who does all that for her.”
After seeing her in the trailer and the publicity photos, do you think all that time pays off?
