British actress Emma Thompson has faced immense backlash from fans who have accused her of being 'disappointing and offensive' for donning a fat suit in the Matilda adaptation.
In the brand-new musical adaption of the 1996 flick, Emma, 63, portrays Agatha Trunchbull - the terrifying and cruel headmistress of Crunchem Hall Primary School from Roald Dahl’s now iconic book.
Emma, who has also starred in Love Actually and Sense and Sensibility, underwent an almost unrecognisable transformation for her role as Ms Trunchbull with heavy prosthetics and a the addition of a fat suit.
