MOVIE villains with scarred faces have been banned by the British Film Institute in a bid to “remove the stigma around disfigurement”.
Films featuring baddies such as Freddy Krueger and Darth Vader will no longer get financial support from the taxpayer-funded body as part of a campaign called #IAmNotYourVillain.
It means blockbusters including Star Wars and A Nightmare on Elm Street would fall foul of the new rules, as would Disney’s Lion King — which even has a villain called Scar.
James Bond’s archenemy Blofeld would not be allowed, nor would the Joker from Batman or Regan MacNeil from The Exorcist.
Even the most recent Star Wars antagonist, Kylo Ren, would not make the grade because of a scar down the right side of his face.
The snowflake campaign has been organised by charity Changing Faces and backed by the BFI, which receives funding of around £20million a year from the Government and £26million from the National Lottery.
Ben Roberts, funding director at the BFI, said: “We are committing to not having negative representations depicted through scars or facial difference in films we fund.

“It’s astonishing to think that films have done this so often and for so long. The time has come for this to stop.
“We fully support Changing Faces’ I Am Not Your Villain campaign and urge the rest of the film industry to do the same.”
A spokesman for Changing Faces said: “Our campaign is calling on those in the film industry to stop using scars, burns or marks as shorthand for villainy.”

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

SATC star Kim swears by gym sessions with Russian kettle bells (traditional cast-iron weights) and the South Beach Diet to give her the body she wants. To avoid overeating, Kim has a radical diet trick – squirting lemon juice on her leftovers – so she won’t carry on picking.
Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
