Catherine Was Pregnant at the Time
Catherine Zeta-Jones does a whole lot of high energy dancing throughout the film, so you might be surprised to learn that she was actually pregnant at the time! She was two months pregnant while shooting was taking place, and the director had to adjust his approach so that we didn’t see her baby bump.

Certain scenes had to be filmed from specific angles in order to hide Catherine’s pregnant belly. In the final cut, it’s more or less impossible to tell that she was pregnant at all, and most fans never knew. Catherine has since had two children with her husband, Michael Douglas: a son named Dylan Michael and a daughter named Carys Zeta.
