Shakira Asked Disney to Give Her Animated Character Curves to Better Reflect Her Own Body
  • 8 years ago
Shakira's hips don't lie, and neither do her avatars.
The international pop star plays Gazelle in the new Disney film Zootopia.
But when Shakira first saw a sketch for her character, she had one objection: Gazelle was missing one crucial feature: her signature hips.
In an interview with Spanish-language newspaper El Pais, Shakira said that she and her animated alter ego have a lot in common, but that they had to be a little bit more in line underneath their clothes.
"A lot of the details are mine: the eye color, the eyelashes, the hair," she said.
"Including the clothes.
That skirt is very 'me.'
I felt she needed more hips ... and I asked them for more and they did it!"
