- Mads Mikkelsen spoke to GQ about replacing wife-beafer Johnny Depp and method acting: “It's bullshit. 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 is clearly tickled by the idea of appearing alongside a dedicated method actor like Daniel Day-Lewis: “I would have the time of my life, just breaking down the character constantly.” He puts on a prissy voice: “‘I’m having a cigarette? This is from 2020, it’s not from 1870 - can you live with it?’ It’s just pretentious,” he adds, impatient again. “Daniel Day-Lewis is a great actor. But it’s got nothing to do with this.”
