Rebecca Romijn was so determined to convincingly play a man wearing
women's shoes for the first time, she made her new husband Jerry O'Connell
try on a pair of high-heels.
In a episode of TV hit Ugly Betty, in which Romijn plays a transsexual,
her formerly-male character suffers a memory loss that makes her forget
how to wear women's shoes.
Romijn says, "I had to relearn how to walk in high-heels and I
needed to know what a man who's never walked in high-heels looked like. So
I made Jerry walk in high-heels the night before I shot (those
scenes)."
