Washington, February 23
(ANI): British actress Helena Bonham Carter has slammed perceptions projecting
her as ‘posh’, insisting the title to be the ‘biggest lie’.
The Alice In Wonderland
star insisted she should not be judged on the basis of her name or relatives,
which include a baron, a baroness and former British Prime Minister, Herbert
Asquith.
“Everyone thinks I’m
posh but that’s shallow thinking and the biggest lie. They only think I’m posh
because I’ve got three names,” Contactmusic quoted her as saying.
The 43-year-old further
revealed she was happy to be relieved off the “corset sex symbol”
tag.
She added: “Ageing
has helped hugely. There’s no question I’m a better actor, and you leave behind
a certain typecasting. I was like the corset bimbo. Well, not quite bimbo, but
you know what I mean. The corset sex symbol, I suppose. Now I’m not going to be
the sex symbol, I’m going to be the granny.” (ANI)
