Paris Hilton's Plastic Love

August 04, 2008

Paris Hilton enjoyed donning prosthetic features for her new film role.

The socialite stars in forthcoming musical horror movie 'Repo! The Genetic Opera' as a cosmetic surgery addict and said she loved trying out different physical features.

She told MTV: "I've never had any plastic surgery, so doing a character like that - it was a lot of fun to change because every scene I have a different nose, I have different eyes, different hair.

"We were using a lot of prosthetics, so every scene you can't really tell that it's me, so that was a lot of fun. "

Paris also revealed her astonishment at being given the role, because so many other actresses audtioned.

She added: "I read the script and immediately fell in love with it. I'm a huge fan of [director] Darren Lynn Bousman. I love the 'Saw' films, so the fact that I was being offered a role like this - which is completely different and so different than me - I was just so excited to even get to be a part of it.

"I really worked my hardest. There were, like, 25 top actresses trying out for this part, and I got the part."

'Repo! The Genetic Opera' is due for release in cinemas in November.
