I saw someone comment that this "has the potential to be the most annoying performance of all time," and like, they're not wrong.

Ew, no.

First off, don't help Rowling get more money. And second, I can't see him wanting to be tied down to a show like this for 10 years.

I just know him as the weird old cannibal guy from Bones and All.

That's literally all I can see when I look at him now: that one scene with him in his tightie whities, covered in blood, with that disgusting ass murder trophy human hair braid.

Well that's not so bad LOL. No matter what do you DO NOT watch "Intimacy" from 2001. My friend was insisting it was SO GOOD... eh, it's just melancholic soft core porn with everything except actual penetration. The amount of times you see this man's junk.. lord.

So now every time I see him all I think is: if a woman did this and showed absolutely everything like that, ANY woman, there would absolutely never ever be an Oscar in her future. SMH.

I don't know why this has me cackling, but the fact that you're like, "Okay the cannibalism isn't that bad, but having to see this man's DICK? Intolerable," really tells everyone all they need to know about this man's level of ick lmaooo.

surprised that anyone wants to be in this 💩

No. I will say I feel bad for the kids that get cast in this mess.
