Helena Bonham Carter's personality is larger than life, which explains why her top hats and mismatched ballet flats seem so tiny! She could not be a more deserving movie star or fantastic interview, and on those grounds I welcome you to a new level of honesty from Tim Burton's wife. Ready? She peed herself while shooting Harry Potter. And she's going to tell you why.
HBC opened up to Larry King during his giant Harry Potter technicolor spectacle on CNN, and her vivid description of self-urination will have you grinning from ear to ear.
"I did a wee wee. Don't tell anyone. [...] I'm barely able to stand up, let alone jump around, screaming. Bellatrix screams. Anybody who had a baby, you'd know that if you scream... nothing's -- you know. Everything. [Pause] It's Niagara. I did 25 takes and I just thought, 'You have no idea what's happening down there.'"
Usually what's going on "down there" is a tutu or a conceptual hoop skirt. But today it is pee. HBC, never change. Never stop. Never prevent the Niagara Falls of your splendor from flowing down the inner thighs of your greatness. Forever.
