Mads Mikkelsen is not holding back his opinion of method acting. In an interview with GQ UK to promote his new film Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, the actor said he thinks the technique is “bulls–t.” Click inside to read more… “You can take [the preparation] into insanity,” Mads said. “What if it’s a shit film — what do you think you achieved?
Am I impressed that you didn’t drop character? You should have dropped it from the beginning! How do you prepare for a serial killer?
You gonna spend two years checking it out?” He went on to mock actors who made a point to stay in character during period pieces.. “‘I’m having a cigarette?
This is from 2020, it’s not from 1870 — can you live with it?’” he joked. “It’s just pretentious.” Mads went on to praise performers closely associated with method acting, like Daniel Day Lewis, but clarified that he thought that the success of their performances was more related to their talent. “Daniel Day-Lewis is a great actor,” he said. “But it’s got nothing to do with this.” “The media goes, ‘Oh my god, he took it so seriously, therefore he must be fantastic; let’s give him an award.’” he added. “Then that’s the talk, and everybody knows about it, and it becomes a thing.” See the trailer for the new Fantastic Beasts movie here!
