'It was sort of like trying to move through mud up to your neck,' the Porpentina Goldstein shares her opinion on her character's navy blue leather trench.

AceShowbiz - Katherine Waterston struggled with her character's leather coat in the 'Fantastic Beasts' sequel, because it was heavy as hell.
The actress, who reprises her role as Tina Goldstein in the film, admits she didn't love her wardrobe, because every scene she wore the coat in was like a workout.
"I wear a navy blue leather trench that I think weighs about 30 pounds," she groans to BuzzFeed. "Maybe that's not a lot of weight for a strong person, but I had to kind of get fit for the coat.
"It was sort of like trying to move through mud up to your neck. It's like something's trying to pull you to the ground all the time."
And, according to castmate Eddie Redmayne, she developed a twitch every time she had to put the coat on: "She would not be comfortable unless she fiddled with her belt," he explains.
"Yeah, because if I tied the belt really tight, it would kind of lift the weight off my shoulders a little," Waterstone adds. "I got kind of jacked just from the coat. I could start a workout - the Leather Coat Workout. Make a (fitness) video."
