According to Cinema, Helena Bonham Carter spoke about how her costuming and makeup made "Planet of the Apes" uncomfortable at times, especially when the facilities were required. "The absolute worst part was going to the toilet," she said. "That was a huge event in itself and very exhausting. It meant removing your rubber furry hands and then struggling to open your ape suit — so basically we ate and drank as little as possible simply to avoid the incredible logistical problems of going to the toilet. Most of the time when we weren't shooting our scenes we tried to move as little as possible so as not to mess up our suits or waste any energy."
This isn't an isolated incident, either. E! News made a list back in 2017 of all the celebrities who struggled with the same issue during their respective stints as superheroes. Apparently, there's not a single costume designer in Hollywood who wants actors to know peace in the bathroom. Listen, actors are often a bit dramatic about everything, including their working conditions, so they deserve a little humbling from time to time, but this is ridiculous.
