10 Iconic Movie Costumes Actors Hated Wearing

10. Malin Akerman – Silk Spectre

The Watchmen is one of an all-time great in the art of graphic novels, and the film it inspired was part of the push towards a renaissance in the superhero genre.

Its characters, particularly Rorschach and Doctor Manhattan, have iconic and striking supe-suits. However, one of the lower key costumes roused hatred in the actor. Malin Akerman was initially enthralled with the idea of donning a superhero costume, yet, the reality proved to be a more villainous experience. She recalled:

"I think latex is super sexy when you see it on someone else, but when you’re the one wearing it, it’s like putting a rubber band on your whole body [...] It takes on whatever temperature it is and then magnifies it. So if we were shooting outside and it was freezing, it made me extra cold, and if it was indoors and hot, it made it extra hot.”

Added to this was the zippers that constantly snagged her hair, the numbness caused by the extremely fitted suit, and the stench, which Akerman compared to the scent of a "human condom."

She finished most filming days sobbing to her husband on the phone.
