“What was it like in your costume, was it miserable or was it awesome? Did you feel like a superhero?” Kelly asked Salma.
“I was terrified of the suit,” Salma confessed.
The Mexican-American actress explained that she got claustrophobic and terrified of how she could move in the costume. She also recalled a scene where she almost took the outfit off just to breathe.
