Looks like Johnny Depp’s handlebar moustache in his upcoming spy thriller, Mortdecai gave a lot of grief to his co-star, Gwyneth Paltrow on screen and off-screen. Paltrow who plays Depp’s leggy wife in the action-comedy had a tough time filming the scenes with Johnny and his long moustache.
Charlie’s biggest weakness is his beloved and luscious blonde wife, Johanna, played by Paltrow and coming between the couple is Charlie’s latest attachment—his new moustache.
“He’s grown this moustache while she’s been away. She is appalled by it. She tries to get past the moustache, but she just can’t. She finds it physically revolting and it almost makes her throw up,” Paltrow explains.
Talking about the arduous task of shooting the scene, Gwyneth says, “Filming those scenes was categorically the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do—to get through it without breaking (the moustache) was so hard! I think I ruined 15 takes!”
Calling the moustache a metaphors, the actress muses, "I believe the moustache is a metaphor for what’s going on in the marriage. Something on the surface seems off, but really there’s much more underneath. Their relationship is charming though. They’re cut from the same cloth. They have a lot of fun and there’s a very strong chemistry that has kept them together all these years."
Mortdecai will release in India on 23 January.
