The renowned actor used a variety of prosthetics for this hot part
John Travolta’s portrayal of Edna Turnblad in Hairspray has sparked less debate over a man playing a woman. Rather than a trans person being played by a trans person, this is an excellent example of musical theater drag. Prosthetics were heavily used by the acclaimed actor for this mouthwatering role.
John Travolta had prosthetics on his head, neck, limbs, and legs since Edna wears provocative apparel. A bodysuit made of spandex and foam covered him.
