<p>Helena Bonham Carter refused the offer of a fat suit to play the Queen Mother in The King&#8217;s Speech, so that she could indulge in marshmallows.</p>
<p>The svelte star, who wears unfitted dresses to play the late wife of King George VI in the award-nominated film, was delighted at not having to stick to a strict Hollywood diet.</p>
<p>Helena told Total Film magazine: &#8220;At one point [director Tom Hooper] said &#8216;Shall we put you in a fat suit?&#8217;. I said &#8216;Noooooo! I looked as if I was in one anyway but that&#8217;s just me&#8230; I did feel like I could eat quite a lot.</p>
<p>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t have to go on the actresses&#8217; diet of eating nothing. I was eating a lot of marshmallows on film.&#8221;</p>
<p>The 44-year-old actress, who stars alongside Colin Firth, said she hoped she didn&#8217;t look too much like the Queen Mother we all remember.</p>
<p>She said: &#8220;I don&#8217;t know if I really carried it off.</p>
<p>&#8220;We all know her when she was in her nineties and obviously I don&#8217;t look like her. I hope. Not in a disrespectful way, I mean her later years&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>The Kings Speech is released on January 7.</p>
