Mariah & Nick At Roberto Cavalli’s Dinner!

“I had to kind of completely lose everything that is me - the celebrity or the singer or however you want to describe me. That was number one like that had to go out the window immediately and that wasn’t an issue really. Aside from that, it was like shedding layers of a mask or just skin, just really like becoming somebody completely new. Even more than just like, ‘Okay, there’s no make-up in this, we’re gonna do a prosthetic nose.’ They tried to do prosthetic nose. My face broke out from that. We had to take it off but it still… then it just enlarged my nose. It was like everything that could go wrong, you know, Lee wanted me to look as unglamorous as I could because you really didn’t want people to be taken out of the film but he believed that I could do this role of the social worker.”ITN
