Bell admits she was enamoured with the script from the get-go, but admits her costume throughout the film was a challenge. “It was a little heavy,” she reveals.

While most women wouldn’t say no to a fancy new dress, a night off from cooking and cleaning, or a kiss from a handsome prince, your typical fairytale ending has certainly been in need of a shake-up. Enter Disney Plus’ Godmothered, starring the hilarious comedy queens, Isla Fisher, 44, and Jillian Bell, 36.

In the film, Bell plays a young fairy godmother-in-training named Eleanor who discovers her profession is in danger of ending. Determined to show that fairy godmothers are still needed, Eleanor tries to help a young girl whose wish was ignored. But she soon discovers that Mackenzie (Fisher) is no longer a young girl but a single mum-of-two, who’s long been disillusioned with the idea of “happily ever after”.

Here, the actresses chat exclusively to WHO about female empowerment, fairytale endings and why everyone needs a magical godmother …
