Your support makes all the difference.Helena Bonham Carter has claimed she “could never understand” what her Ocean's 8 co-star Rihanna was saying on the set of the 2018 film.
The actor made the remarks during an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, when the host asked her to “spill the tea” on people she’d worked with in the past.
“She’s amazing, she’s a goddess,” said Bonham Carter of the Barbadian singer. “She looks extraordinary. I could never understand what she said though. We speak totally different languages.
“But I love her, and she’s amazing to look at — really good actress too, and then she’s a great designer.”
On Colin Firth, her co-star in The King’s Speech, Bonham Carter simply said: “Love dearly; talks too much.”
Bonham Carter also praised her fellow actor on The Crown, Olivia Colman, for her crying abilities – “No tear duct like her” – and said Brad Pitt, who she worked with on Fight Club, “looks like he swallowed the sun”.
The Crown, which stars Bonham Carter as Princess Margaret, is out on Netflix now.
