Alice In Wonderland star and mother of two, Actres Helena Bonham Carter revealed today the inspiration for her tyrannical character The Red Queen came from her two-year-old daughter, Nell.
The 3D film is directed by her husband Tim Burton and is being premiered tonight in London's Leicester Square.
Bonham Carter explained Nell was the perfect model for the queen because she's so bossy.
She elaborated: "I thought well she's a toddler, because she's got the big head, she's a tyrant - a toddler tyrant, toddlers are tyrants.
"The no sympathy for any other living creature - that's our toddler in fact.
"No empathy, just commands. She just bosses us around - dictatorship. No please, no thank you. 'Mummy come here' 'Mummy go' 'Mummy! Watch telly.'
"An another toddler quality - it's all about me, it's all about her, never considers us, ask, ask, ask. So the toddler thing was a big inspiration."
