Kristen Wiig has confessed that she felt "honoured" to work with Jill Clayburgh in Bridesmaids before the actress died.
Clayburgh passed away in November 2010 after a long struggle with leukaemia at the age of 66.
Talking to US Weekly, Wiig, who co-wrote and co-starred in the film, described Clayburgh as a "maternal" spirit on set and revealed that several of the late actress's "dirty" jokes were removed from the final cut out of respect.
"I felt honoured the moment she signed on to do the film. She was a very maternal, nurturing spirit," Wiig explained.
"She was also game for anything. There were times when she was saying things and I would just start laughing. I was like, 'Oh, my god, I'm making Jill Clayburgh talk about motor-boating', which didn't end up in the movie. She was amazing."
Bridesmaids co-star Jon Hamm recently revealed that he had "fun" shooting sex scenes for the movie with Wiig.
