Rebel Wilson Cats movie interview

Rebel Wilson says the cast of Cats had to lick each other while filming the movie.

The film musical – which baffled fans when the trailer first aired – also stars Idris Elba, Francesca Hayward, Taylor Swift, Ian McKellen, James Corden, Judi Dench, Jennifer Hudson, Ray Winstone, Jason Derulo.

“I have actually got a photo of me licking Jason. He didn’t mind.”

US star Derulo had said: “I don’t know if it made the film! I remember doing that over and over, all day long and then it didn’t make the film.”

The pair had a “cat teacher” to make them aware “That you have a tail and ears on top of your head.”

Australian actress Wilson said the cast tried but failed to add rude jokes to the film.
 

 
“Billions of people around the world have seen the musical because it’s so iconic but there’s not a lot of comedy, there’s actually no jokes, dialogue jokes, so we thought, ‘Let’s add some!,’” she said.

“The editors sent me a list of all the jokes that got cut out because they were way too rude.”
