Scarlett Johansson has revealed she loved playing the costumes she wore to play a Victorian magician’s assistant in new movie The Prestige - but only at first.

She said recently: “The costumes are gorgeous and it was fun to be able to play dress up every day.”

“[The corset] made me feel very uncomfortable.”

“When you wear a corset for 12 hours then after a while you’re not feeling as fabulous as when you first put it on.”

Scarlett is currently filming The Other Boleyn Girl - another costume drama - in the UK with Natalie Portman and Eric Bana.
