The actress learned to pole dance in preparation for her role as a stripper in 'The Hangover' and was astonished after seeing the less than impressive antics of her real-life counterparts.
She said: "I went to a strip club to prepare for the role but it was a big disappointment. I'd taken these classes on how to dance but if you go to a strip club, no-one's dancing. Everyone just stands there. The girls are all just on stage and it's all about lap dances."
Heather is not the only celebrity who has learned to pole dance.
Supermodel Kate Moss showed off her skills in the White Stripes' music video for 'I Don't Know What To Do With Myself', while Britney Spears recently insisted a pole be installed in her hotel room.
The 'Toxic' singer - who is a huge fan of pole dancing as it helps maintain her new slender figure - made the unusual request to staff at London's Dorchester Hotel, where she will be staying when she performs at the city's O2 arena in June as part of the UK leg of her 'Circus' tour.
A source said: "Britney loves pole dancing, it is her new favourite work out. She gets the toning she needs without having to hit the gym and wants to do it in the privacy of her own hotel room."
