Jacob Elordi shares all of himself in ‘Frankenstein’ at Venice Film Festival
The reason I was drawn to it is it’s it was a it’s a vessel that I could put every sort of part of myself into, you know, from everything that’s unconscious from the moment that I was born to being here with you today. All of it is is in that character. And in so many ways, the the creature that’s on screen in this movie is the sort of purest form of myself. It’s he’s he’s more me than than I am. And I think as a performer that’s if you can achieve that in something that you think you’re going to get lost in, if you can find yourself in a character that you plan to get lost in, I think that’s like a really beautiful thing that can happen. And and that’s what happened to me. And I’m only realizing that now uh sort of in hindsight. Yeah. I had a I had a GMO came to me pretty late late in the process. It was about 9 weeks for him. And I was uh I was finishing the narrow road to the deep north with Justin Cole in Australia. So, I had about three weeks, three, four weeks before I got to uh to filming. So, it I mean, it presented itself as like a pretty monumental task, but uh like like Oscar said, the the banquet was there and everyone was already eating by the time I got there. So, all I had to do was just join in, you know, pull up a seat. Yeah. Pull up a seat and and it was a it was a big warm comfy seat, you know. It really was like a a dream come true. And the the monsters of the world, uh I think GMO said it best earlier. He said it’s the men in suits, you know. Yeah. Very well tailored. Very well tailored. Yeah. As a performance for Jacob. And was I crazy or was there a little bit of a Yorkshire accent in the vocalization? That’s a great spot. Yeah. David Bradley, who plays the the blind man, is from from that part of the world. So when the creature learns to speak, there is little bits and bobs. I’m glad you noticed. Very glad you noticed. the the creature the creature was uh for me it was very biographical and I wanted the creature to be newborn a lot of the interpretations of the creature u visually uh are almost like accident victims uh and I wanted beauty so I was very based in in some uh ivory and uh alabaster statues uh which I’ve been rehearsing if you see Kronos or devil’s background I’ve been rehearsing that look for a long time. But uh I also said no stitches. I don’t want you know Victor is an artist and if he’s been dreaming for this for 20 years he would make a perfect beautiful thing. We based the head on the frenology diagrams in in the 1800s and the body we tried to make sense of the lines of cutting with surgery but also beauty. We were doing the lines like you streamline a car like this line flows with the cheekbone and this and that. And uh also ultimately uh every set and every design if you watch the movie they change every time they appear. The creature on the beginning is a baby. It’s like a newborn almost uh embryo you know it’s translucent and fragile and this and that and then uh the hair comes the wardrobe changes it the explosions changing scar him and and the beauty of this is the character is revealed through that you know and uh finally the thing that I always as a kid kept thinking in my mind first of all the hair is different colors because comes from different scalps but I always say Why why didn’t Victor take one half and one half or a third and a third? And the answer I found is uh it’s war. You know, he everything is fed from basically uh spare pieces. So that made logic for the story, the context and the
