I Had To Wear A Fat Suit To Play Mma Ramotswe In 'the No 1 Ladies' Detective Agency.' She's Described As Being Like A Small Elephant, But She Loves Her Body And Size. When We Were Filming In Africa, It Was 110f. It Was Torturous. I Drank A Lot Of Water And Ate Cucumbers All The Time, And Underneath The Fat Suit I Shed Pounds - I Couldn't Help It.

I Chose No. 1 Ladies' Detective, Or I'll Say It Chose Me, And It Was An Absolute Blessing, For The Experience Of Being In Africa For Seven Months And Learning So Many Different Things, From Languages To Foods To Greetings. On So Many Levels, It Was An Incredible Experience.
