SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY While at the Roald Dahl's Matilda the Musical New York premiere, Thompson spoke with Variety and broke down her exhausting transformation process to become Miss Trunchbull. The actor explained that it would take three and a half hours a day to apply makeup, facial prosthetics, and an assortment of paddings. Read what Thompson described below:
“‘Cruella’ was a long time, actually, but this was the longest. There’s an actual body suit, which is to give her the heft and the muscle. And then a massive weighty underwear and pretend chest and all of that. It was a lot to walk around in.
However, there are several changes to Roald Dahl's Matilda the Musical from the original stage production.
