Actor Stanley Tucci has opened up about getting his look right for his latest film. In Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance With Somebody, he plays record producer Clive Davis, who discovered the legendary singer when she was 19, and for Tucci it was vital to get his appearance right. Especially his hair. Tucci describes himself as a 'physical actor' so getting Davis’s look wasn’t just a matter of accuracy. It affected his performance.

“There were some wonderful designers on the film, including my friend Anne Morgan. She created all the wigs and was there to put them on me,” he explained. “Sometimes we would do three different eras in one day. All that stuff – the wigs, padding etc – makes a big difference to me because I’m a physical actor and when you have all that, you change physically and instantly you change everything inside as well.”
