But if people want to see it that way, it’s definitely up for interpretation. As far as my intentions in how I was playing it, it was really just her seeing Diana as the beautiful, popular girl that has the best life and everything I don’t have. Like, attracted attracted? I’ve heard people suggest that. But to be honest, being stronger was so helpful, to get into who this character was. And it’s very easy to complain and say, oh my God, I can’t even walk up the stairs. I was basically sore for like nine months. elements later on, but for the most part it’s wire work. When you watch the movie, we learned and did all of those fight sequences, in addition to our stunt people. Almost two months before we started shooting, I got a trainer - the movie wanted me to, just to get started. Was there physical training for this role? Maybe because there is more of me in Barbara, I actually had a more challenging time with that part of the shooting. ![]() ![]() When Cheetah is evil, it’s like, OK, now I’m this person.

Wiig had recently returned to Los Angeles, where she lives with her husband, the actor Avi Rothman, and their two young children, after a whirlwind New York trip. I’ve got baby food on me and we just have to accept ourselves.” “And then you’re only normal from the waist up. “First you’re fully trying to look normal,” she said Tuesday. Clad in a well-worn sweatshirt, she was relating a familiar plight: how a monthslong regimen of video chats and conferences had gradually worn down her efforts to appear presentable on camera. “I want you to know, I dressed up for the interview,” a dryly sarcastic Kristen Wiig said from a computer screen.
