3 January 2026<\/time>\n <\/p>\nJacob Elordi found spending 10 hours in the make-up chair for Frankenstein “the greatest blessing”.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nJacob Elordi in Frankenstein<\/p>\nThe 28-year-old actor portrayed Victor Frankenstein’s (Oscar Isaac) creation the Creature in Guillermo Del Toro’s adaptation of the classic horror tale and though it took a lot of preparation for him to get ready for a day’s filming, he was grateful for it because he had so much time to work on the screenplay and his ideas for the character.<\/p>\nSpeaking during The Hollywood Reporter’s Actors Roundtable, he said: “It gave me the freedom to be completely expressive. <\/p>\n“There were things that I could do in that make-up that I\u2019d never get away with in a regular film. <\/p>\n“When I spoke to Guillermo the first time, he said, ‘This isn\u2019t a prosthetics process. It\u2019s going to be the sacrament. It needs to be holy. It\u2019s, “The Father, Son and Holy Spirit”, and then you step into the church. The time that it takes is what you need to become this thing that\u2019s other.’ <\/p>\n\n“When the Creature is newborn, from head to toe was about 10 hours. When he has clothes on, it was five hours.<\/p>\n\n“If you could have 10 hours every day to get ready for the day, it would be the greatest blessing. You learn the screenplay inside out, and then you can put it down and spend another three hours thinking about it, and then not thinking about it.<\/p>\n\n“And then all of a sudden, you look up in the mirror and you are gone.”<\/p>\n\nJacob recalled being thrown into the deep end when he had to shoot the film’s emotional climax much earlier than he expected, but he was ultimately relieved because he didn’t get the time to “freak out”.<\/p>\n\nHe said: “The final scene of Frankenstein is meant to be full, operatic emotion, forgiving the father. I thought we\u2019d shoot it at the end. <\/p>\n\n“But much earlier than that, Guillermo said, ‘Tomorrow we\u2019re going to do the forgiveness scene. The set is ready.’<\/p>\n\n“This was going to be the first time I\u2019d acted with Oscar. I hadn\u2019t figured out how to emote as this thing. And I didn\u2019t know what the voice was yet.<\/p>\n\n“I was like, ‘If I think about this, I\u2019m not going to go to work tomorrow; I\u2019m going to be in the hospital or something. I\u2019m going to freak out.’<\/p>\n\n“So I just didn\u2019t think about it, and then I just did it. If I\u2019d obsessed over it for the next eight weeks, it would have been a nightmare.”<\/p>\n\nFellow actor Wagner Moura noted: “Sometimes I feel like we don\u2019t need the amount of preparation that we all think we need.<\/p>\n\n“Sometimes, just show up and do it!<\/p>\n\nJacob reflected: “I think it\u2019s because it\u2019s an intangible thing, whatever it is that we do, so you have to pretend that there is a business structure to it. Like, ”I did this from nine to three, so I must be good to go.’ “<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n<\/p>\n \n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\nSource link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"3 January 2026 Jacob Elordi found spending 10 hours in the make-up chair for Frankenstein “the greatest blessing”.
