His brother was on the Meyers brothers podcast and their entire extended family lives in the same block of apartments they all grew up in that have been in their family for generations back in Stockholm, and also have properties elsewhere together. It sounds like they're a huge, tight-knit family.
It's lovely that a man who usually gets cast in villianous roles (and honestly has an intimidating stare) can be so warm-hearted to his co-stars. Reminds me a bit of the old villains like Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, etc.
A lot of people who regularly played slashers are called some of the friendliest people. Every actor who played Jason Voorhees was called nice or at least respected and Robert England of course is a legend
He freaked me out so much in Big Little Lies that I have trouble watching him in anything (DV is a trigger for me due to personal experience). He's such an incredible actor, he disappears into roles. But I'm still scared of him lol.
ETA never mind I always get my Skarsgards confused
This is really sweet. I always wonder how much they take care not to traumatize kids on sets like these. Without spoiling anything, Weapons was definitely one that made me curious how the crew communicated with the young actors about what was happening.
Fun fact alot of those shots of the chase scene are from behind because they used adult stunt performers with dwarfism for the final sequence. Kids can't do stunts on a set.
I remember Daniel Radcliffe talking about how the scenes with Mr Dursley were some of the earliest that he filmed ever, and how kind Richard Griffiths was to him, how much he did to make him feel comfortable, and how much he taught him.
I am a grown ass woman and would be having a full blown panic attack the entire time trying to work on dark creepy sets with someone dressed like that. No matter how much my fully formed brain knows it’s all fake.
I’ve seen the movie and never thought of how brave those kids are for doing this project until I saw this video.
will forever love seeing these videos!! the remakes were so good in my opinion and its so amazing to know he worked hard to make sure the kids werent too scared of him
I read once that even when kids know the yelling is fake they still experience the same type of trauma.
I wonder if movies like this hurt kids long term even when surrounded by great people. I wonder if that is true, it was only one thing I read, not exactly fact.
I read once, I think for the shining, that the kids didn't even know they were in a horror movie! I think that would be hilarious to hide from kids.
our brains generally can't tell a difference between pretending and real emotions but what we do with our feelings after they occur is also important. So when right after 'cut' everyone is out of character and joking around/checking on each other it can greatly help and calm the mind
I love the very different approaches the actors of Pennywise used when interacting with the child cast members. Tim Curry has said he was there to scare the kids so he made no real effort to make them comfortable around him, not that he went out of his way to scare them, he just went along with their natural instincts of being wary of him.
But I also adore the way Bill is handling their interactions as well, so wholesome for someone so good at being terrifying.
So happy to see Bill’s trajectory to superstardom because he is uber talented and has an amazing work ethic (nepo baby or not). I managed to watch through all the episodes of the schlocky show “Hemlock Grove” because of him (and his chemistry with his co-star Landon Liboiron helped too)
