Everyone knows that prostitution can be hideous, abusive and destructive. Obviously these things go on but I'm just telling this one person's story. It's not about sex trafficking and it's not drug related at all. "That is a major point, being a prostitute was her choice, she wasn't forced into it. I'm sure there are many down sides but Belle enjoyed what she did and felt very much in control of it. The job she does isn't for everyone but you have to try and understand why somebody does this and what effect it has on their life. One night she was at a dinner party that turned into an orgy, she left and discovered she had cash in her hand. It was good to sit down with her one- on-one and ignore all the shit that surrounds the subject mater and have a very honest and frank conversation."īillie continues: "She likes sex this woman, she loves it and she found herself living in London with about £20 to get through the month. We spoke about the music she likes, she's so incredibly well read and cultured, a fascinating woman. It was good to see her, watch her behaviour and mannerisms. I couldn't do it myself per se but I can understand how she found herself in that situation and why she continued to do it. "She explained exactly how she got into it for reasons I could completely understand. "There is so much speculation surrounding the book is it true? Does she really exist? Have these things really happened? Is she romanticising something quite controversial? Meeting her took the fear out of the part I was venturing into. "Meeting Belle was really helpful," says Billie. To get to grips with the role Billie met the real life Belle, who as a rule fiercely guards her anonymity. It was certainly a very different story to every other one I'd heard about prostitution." "This is such a taboo subject, no one really ever speaks about it except the horror stories about the nature of the work. I thought she was funny, witty, sharp and intelligent and I liked the idea of playing her. I found her absolutely fascinating and some of her ideas quite romantic plus I liked her style of writing. "It was Belle, the person portrayed in the book that drew me to the project. You just do it for yourself and it makes you feel great - empowered and body-confident."īillie says she was immediately drawn to the character of Belle when she read the infamous book. No one else needs to know you're wearing something fabulous under your clothes. These things do have an effect on the way you behave and the way you see yourself."Īdmitting that she has kept all her clothes from the series, Billie adds: "What I've discovered about great underwear is that you can wear it secretly. If I want to feel strong and empowered I'll wear something that suits that mood, when I feel slightly romantic and chilled, or a bit dipsy I'd wear something floaty and have bare feet. Personally I dress for my mood every single day. "Costumes are so important when acting, I never used to understand it but the minute I put on one of those sharp tailored suits and a pair of stilettos I instantly felt different. I didn't feel 100 percent comfortable but very quickly I grew to love my costumes and often I wouldn't take my heels off even when I was on the way to the catering van for some sausages," laughs Billie. I'm a real tomboy and at first putting on those glam clothes felt alien to me. "As most people probably know I'm happiest in trampy clothes, just being comfortable. It's a profession which is sometimes passionate, at times isolating, but always well-paid.ĭressing as a high class escort for her role as Belle in Secret Diary of a Call Girl has helped Billie Piper realise a new found love of high heels and beautiful underwear.
