Lily recently chatted about the controversy surrounding her tiny waist in the film.

“On one hand, it’s upsetting. On the other hand, it’s just boring. Why do women always get pointed at for their bodies?” And why is this whole thing happening that I’m constantly having to justify myself? International Women’s Day has just gone, and it just feels just a bit sad that it’s still happening. And, you know, I’m very healthy and I always have been,” Lily shared to Huffington Post.

Richard added, “I can vouch for Lily on this. That’s her real waist. I held it, I know how tiny it was. And she did eat. She eats like a boy.”

FYI: Lily is wearing Camilla and Marc at AOL Studios.
