10 Artists who, due to their great dedication to their roles, deserve a standing ovation

The ambitions of many actors and actresses are not limited to high fees and the coveted Oscar. Most of them consider it much more important to convey to the audience the depth of a character, showing a plausible and dignified image on the screen. Therefore, some performers seriously prepare for filming and end up surprising viewers with really magnificent performances.

We, from awesome.clubwe support all the dedication and determination of the actors and we have to admit that, thanks to their persistence, some of them actually manage to “get under the skin” of their characters.

Julia Garner had just three weeks to prepare for the role of the glamorous and mysterious Anna Delvey. The real Anna lived in several countries, which greatly affected the way she spoke, and in that short time, the actress managed to develop the character’s specific accent.

To match Anna’s image, Julia wore a denture during filming. It was the actress herself who proposed this idea, and the director approved it. In fact, with the prosthesis, her face was more like the character.

Furthermore, Julia met the real Anna and commented that she found her very sweet and humorous.

Austin Butler, who played the main role in the feature film Elvis, carefully studied the archives of the famous singer. The actor remembers that he watched as many Elvis Presley videos as possible, as he felt a great responsibility to Elvis himself, his family and all his fans.

A year before the start of filming, the actor began to attend vocal lessons, as he wanted his voice to resemble the “king of rock and roll” as much as possible in the film.

Emilia Jones took on a difficult role: she played the only person in the family who can hear (her parents and older brother are deaf). To get into the role, the actress spent nine months learning sign language.

According to the plot, the character helps her parents in the fishing business and also sings in a choir. Therefore, Emilia had to learn to fish and sing.

It’s true that her character, Rose, is a supporting character in the story, but Kirsten Dunst prepared with the same tenacity for filming, as if it were a starring role. For this performance, the actress had to learn to play the piano.

By coincidence, the actress’s husband, Jesse Plemons, played a major role in the production, and the couple rehearsed some scenes on their own. Kirsten Dunst confessed to trying to talk as little as possible with people on set, sometimes she was completely mute, so that nothing would affect her voice during the recordings.

To look as much like her character as possible, Gwendoline Christie decided not to rely solely on her natural features (like her height). Even before the test, the actress began to train hard and lost almost 10 kg.

After being approved for the role, Gwendoline continued to train and gained about 6 kg of muscle mass.

However, the hardest thing for the actress was having to sacrifice her hair. In an interview, she revealed that when they cut her hair, she cried for two hours. In real life, Gwendoline is very feminine: she wears beautiful dresses, makeup and high heels.

The director of the film Mulan, Niki Caro, remembers that for the role of the protagonist, the filmmakers tested about 1,000 candidates. Liu Yifei’s audition took more than two hours, and then the actress even spent an hour and a half at the gym for a trainer to check her fitness.

In addition, a few months before the start of recording, the actress had to train intensely, as well as the entire cast of the production. Liu Yifei said that the training took six or seven hours a day, every day, and it was quite challenging.

In preparing for the filming of Dexter, Michael C. Hall did some research on criminals, their motives and methods. The actor admitted that, in addition to studying “the theory”, on the streets of the city he tried to follow anyone who was unaccompanied. To better understand the role, Michael even imagined that people possessed the typical qualities of his character’s victims.

In the feature Noah, Emma Watson plays the pregnant wife of Noah’s child. The actress herself never gave birth, but she wanted pregnancy and childbirth to look natural in the film. So she sought out relevant information from other women, from midwives, and watched various films and videos.

Emma asked the costume designers to make a fake belly the same weight as a real twin pregnancy. The next day, the actress complained to the costume designer that she was very tired, completely exhausted with the costume. She received in response that the fake belly was the weight of only one baby.

The director insisted that most of the film’s scenes be shot without stuntmen, and Zendaya had to learn circus gymnastics. However, the actress admitted that the stunts were not easy at all.

During training, she got used to a certain height of the trapeze and the safety net. However, on set there was no such net, they used another option for security, and the trapeze had a different height. The actress proved capable of overcoming her fears and did what was necessary.

When preparing to portray Phil Burbank, one of Montana’s ranchers, Benedict Cumberbatch went straight there. He lived in a family of farmers who took him on a tour of the state and taught him the skills of a cowboy. For example, the actor learned to herd and brand cattle, as well as how to ride a horse correctly. Benedict described his experience as incredible.
