Actress on set peels off her fake lips before going to eat her lunch

This is the moment a comedy actress shocked her fans when she was caught on camera having her fake lips removed so she could go for lunch.

Glamorous Russian star Evelina Bledans, 47, was wearing silicon lips for one of her best known roles, but did not want to eat while wearing them.

As a friend filmed the action on a smartphone, one of her assistants carefully peeled off the bright red, pouting lips .

The actress is seen grimacing in pain in the footage which went viral after being posted on social media and video-sharing websites.

And Bledans asked her online followers: "Do you have to take off your lips before you have lunch?"

Some viewers said they found the footage distasteful but others commented that they had always wanted to know how the actress managed to change her appearance so drastically.

Bledans was wearing the fake lips for her role as a glamorous blonde in the TV show called One For All, set in Moscow's luxurious neighbourhood of Rublevka where property prices are among the highest in the world.

The actress is a provocative figure in Russian show business and is famous for courting controversy.
