Paul Dano Joins The Ranks Of The Villains Of "Batman", Who Do Absolutely The Most To Get Into The Character

Few things in life are certain, but one guarantee is that when an actor is chosen as Batman’s villain, he will go to the extreme to become a hero. And then they will do no less than 74 different interviews about their commitment to the role.

Paul Dano, who plays The Riddler in The Batmancame out on Friday, stayed true to this time-honored tradition by suffocating with plastic wrap and then talking all about it with The Hollywood reporter. IN THR the profile, published on Wednesday, begins with the absurd (albeit convincing) sentence: “In pursuit of his art, Paul Dano wrapped his head in a locust wrapper last year.

Saran’s shell was Dano’s idea, a way to convey his character’s meticulousness when it comes to horrific murders. “The depth of this man, the almost maniacal details he puts into the plot – I said to myself, ‘Okay, okay, do I just have to shave my body hair?'” The actor said. “So there’s no evidence.” Instead, he decided that a serial killer without accounting would cover his head with a locust shell. Director Matt Reeves was obviously in favor of the idea, given that Dano looked even more sinister in his army battle mask with plastic peeking out from above.

But when it came time to film, Dano turned bright red, almost fainting from lack of oxygen and the heat trapped inside the plastic. However, he refused to be left without what he considered an essential part of his suit. After all, this is the man who later explained in the profile that he had tried hundreds of pairs of glasses to find the right look. “I’m not the person who says, ‘If you can’t see my feet in the frame, I’ll wear more comfortable shoes,'” Dano said. THR. “It just doesn’t work that way.” So he drilled a few holes in the carp shell, and she stayed.

The new interview comes just weeks after Dano caught fire online to reveal the intensity of his preparation for the role. IN Love and Mercy said the actor Entertainment Weekly that he had several sleepless nights struggling to separate himself from his upset character. The quote quickly spread on Twitter, with people wondering why actors playing Batman villains seem to be tormented for no apparent reason. Subsequently, Dano clarified during a Good morning America it seems that although it is sometimes difficult to recover from a grueling day of filming, playing The Riddler has not had a lasting effect on his psyche.

Despite Dano’s assurances, there is a precedent for the Batman villains to be brought to insomnia by the stress of their roles. For the role of the Joker, which won an Oscar the black KnightHeath Ledger sleeps an average of only two hours a night. In an interview from 2007 IN New York Times, he even admitted that he turned to Ambien to help him sleep during the filming. Ledger is known to have used a full-blown method to house the Joker, isolating himself in a hotel room for months, keeping a diary of his character’s background, and practicing his most threatening psychopathic laughter.

But no comic book movie star is close to Jared Leto when it comes to superb acting. For 2016 Suicide squad, Leto spent hours visiting psychiatric wards and chatting with violent criminals. It is reported that he remained in the role of the Joker 24/7, as his colleague from Will Smith claims that in the six months of their joint photos he has never met the real Leto. Most of all, Leto harassed fellow actors with crazy and disgusting gifts from the Joker; both Viola Davis and Margo Robbie said in interviews that he had sent Robbie a live rat. He also sent all the plaster to a dead pig, blades, anal beads and used condoms. All this and Suicide squad it wasn’t even a good movie.

Since then, Leto has denied sending the rat to Robbie, saying in a GQ interview, “It’s just not true. In fact, I gave her a lot – I found this place in Toronto where there were great vegan cinnamon rolls and that was a very common thing. ” about Leto’s attempt to control the damage, but whatever.)

Although of varying intensity, all of these stories about Batman’s actors doing the most have one thing in common: they seem completely unnecessary. People play killers all the time without risking suffocation or injuring their colleagues with animal carcasses. In Lawrence Olivier’s immortal words, “Why don’t you just try to act?”
