Brian Froud explained to the outlet that Sarah is on the verge of a sexual awakening, and because she crushes on rock stars, of course, she created this character in the image of one. Froud discussed the motivations behind Jareth&#8217;s costume, saying:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n&#8220;We&#8217;re not looking at reality, we&#8217;re inside this girl&#8217;s head. There are references to all sorts of things in his costume. There&#8217;s the danger of a leather boy in his leather jacket, which also has a reference to the armor of a certain type of German knight in it; there are references to Heathcliff from &#8216;Wuthering Heights&#8217;; and the tight trousers are a reference to ballet dancers. He&#8217;s an amalgam of the inner fantasies of this girl. Everyone always talks about Bowie&#8217;s perv pants, but there was a reason for it all! It has a surface that&#8217;s fairly light, but then every so often you go, &#8216;Oh, my God! How did we get away with that?!'&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>But they didn&#8217;t totally get away with it. <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">App<\/a>arently, the studio struggled with the size of Jareth&#8217;s package, which is why it&#8217;s at its largest in the first scene that was shot (when Sarah and Hoggle are confronted by the Goblin King in the tunnel). <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fm3sLJ5cp5s&amp;t=1s\">Jim Henson&#8217;s son Brian<\/a>\u00a0(who also worked on the film) said after the studio saw the footage, &#8220;The calls came back very quickly, &#8216;you&#8217;re absolutely nuts if you think David Bowie&#8217;s going to keep wearing that thing.'&#8221; His father was not a fan of reshoots, so after that, Henson recalled, the codpiece just grew smaller and smaller.<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
