Oscar-winning actress Marisa Tomei, who did an amazing job in The Wrestler as Mickey Rourke's girlfriend that strips, talked to People magazine about preparing for the role:
"'The script called for certain points where the [Rourke's character] has to put money in my G-string, so I definitely had to be wearing a G-string – I couldn't be wearing boy shorts .. I talked to a bunch of different girls and a bunch of different dancers. We just went out, had some drinks, went to a bunch of clubs, watched a lot of dances, got some dances,' she says.
"'It's like anything, any subculture. You get in there, and it's all individuals. And the dancing itself is not tawdry to the dancer and there's a lot more complexity there than you'd think."
"Plus, it's a great workout. 'It's really physically hard! Don't discount that. Really physically hard,' she notes. 'That pole work is crazy hard; to be really good on that pole you have to be really strong.'"
