Kristen Wiig on Wonder Woman 1984, becoming a mother & life in lockdown | Life Lessons| Bazaar UK

Kristen Wiig is best known for her work in comedy - from Saturday Night Live sketches to hit cult classic Bridesmaids - but now the actress is branching out and starring in her first ever superhero blockbuster: Wonder Woman 1984. Appearing opposite Gal Gadot in the superhero sequel, Wiig plays Barbara Miverva - otherwise known as Cheetah. "Hair and make-up really helps me get into character," she told us on the set of her Harper s Bazaar digital cover shoot. "Especially the character I play in Wonder Woman. She goes through quite a lot of different looks in this movie; it was almost like playing four different characters. And definitely towards the end, the whole Cheetah, everything, was pretty intense. I didn t really enjoy wearing the contacts, I have to say. But everything else was pretty cool." In our exclusive video interview, Wiig tells us what she s learned about style, beauty and friendship, what life in lockdown has taught her and what it s like becoming a mother to twins in 2020.
