Helena Bonham Carter is no stranger to taking on challenging roles, but it seems that her role as Bellatrix Lestrange in the Harry Potter films may have been a bit too challenging. In a recent interview, the actress revealed that she suffered from incontinence while filming scenes for the movie.

"There was one scene where I had to be hanging upside down, and I was really struggling not to wee myself," Carter said. "I think I might have made it into a take or two before I wet myself."

Fortunately, the crew was understanding and helped Carter through the situation. "Everyone was very kind about it and helped me out," she said. "It's not something you ever want to happen, but it did and we just got on with it."

It's not clear what caused Carter's incontinence, but it's possible that it was due to the stress of filming an action-packed scene while hanging upside down. Whatever the reason, we're glad she was able to power through and finish the scene!
