Marigold Hotel stars shocked by aged look

The veteran stars of THE SECOND BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL left a screening of the movie in total shock because they had no idea how old they looked onscreen.
Producers of the comedy sequel decided to forego any specialist studio equipment while on location in India and instead used the bright sun as their only source of light.
However, the technique changed the way stars including Celia Imrie, Dame Maggie Smith, and Dame Judi Dench usually look on camera, and some of the cast were left shocked when they saw the finished product.
Imrie tells U.K. talk show host Graham Norton, “We didn’t have any fancy lighting or anything. It was just the bright, bright heat of the sun. First of all, I think I am 26 still but I’m not and at the screening we all looked at ourselves and came out in absolute shock. The director caught us all stunned and asked what the matter was and when we told him we all looked so old he just roared with laughter.”
