Sarah Paulson has admitted she regrets wearing a fat suit to portray a real-life figure in her upcoming TV show, after copping criticism upon the trailer's release.
The Golden Globe winner, 46, plays White House whistleblower Linda Tripp in FX's upcoming series, Impeachment: American Crime Story, which has its global premiere on Binge on September 8.
Tripp, who died in April last year aged 70, famously exposed the affair between former US President Bill Clinton and White House intern, Monica Lewinsky. The global scandal has been dramatised for the 10-part show, the third instalment of the anthology series by Ryan Murphy.
Immediately after the trailer's release two weeks ago, Paulson copped heavy backlash on social media for wearing prosthetics and a fat suit to resemble Tripp, with many pointing out the role could have gone to someone more physically appropriate.
Speaking to the Los Angeles Times, Paulson said she was initially torn about wearing the suit, and admitted she probably wouldn't do it for a role again.
