Walt Disney’s has banned actresses with artificial enhancements for the next “Pirates of the Caribbean” blockbuster. Under Rob Marshall, the director of the fourth chapter of the family films, only the naturally endowed will stand a chance of crossing swords with Johnny Depp.

The requirements to casting directors circulating around Los Angeles said the film-makers were seeking “beautiful female fit models. Must be 5ft 7in-5ft 8in (170-172cm), (U.S.) size 4 or 6, no bigger or smaller. Age 18-25. Must have a lean dancer body. Must have real breasts. Do not submit if you have implants”.

The film-makers warn that there will be a “show and tell” day with costume designers where potential actresses will be expected to run - a venerable Hollywood test to detect false breasts, which move less freely than the real thing during action sequences. The actresses, who must also be able to dive and swim, are needed for scenes to be shot in Hawaii this summer. The film, "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides", is due to be released in May 2011.

Sources said this was the first time such an edict had been passed on a Pirates film: “In the last movie there were enhanced breasts to give that 18th-century whoreish look and men were pretty well padded, too, and no one worried,” said a former casting agent. But times are changing and the audience can spot false breasts.”

A former casting agent said: “Directors such as Martin Scorsese already avoid employing actresses using Botox or with collagen inflated lips. They know what they want, which is to avoid vulgar distractions. In Hollywood movies, where everything else is false, nothing is more valued than natural beauty.”

Gawker asked how this is not sexual harrassment and if there is any way to prove veracity of breasts without sexually harassing. Whatever you look at this, it seems Hollywood has upped its beauty benchmark starting from Disney.
