How a lot has life modified since Recreation of Thrones?
Effectively, Recreation of Thrones modified all the things as a result of I would already been an actor for 15 years earlier than I performed Tormund. But it surely modified lots. I feel I’ve accomplished loads of enjoyable stuff and really various stuff. I’ve chosen to not do any extra Viking stuff. After a component like that, they throw Viking tasks at you. However I attempt to keep away from that. So I am very comfortable and I’m having fun with this section. In The Witcher, I additionally did a determine like this. And I actually get pleasure from this type of work the place I can remodel completely.
Between Recreation of Thrones and Purple One, you’ve performed a fair proportion of powerful guys with an endearing appeal…
Thanks. It’s so beautiful to listen to that. The factor is that Krampus is bodily intimidating and he simply appears horrible. So when you have a horrible look and also you play such as you’re very unhealthy, it might develop into ineffective. That is why I made him a bit female and a bit self-indulging. That is the other of what he appears like. After which there are extra dimensions to it. So you’ll be able to’t play the masks. You need to play the other of the masks.
What was it like moving into the frilly look of the character?
The humorous factor is, it is prosthetics, not particular results. What you see is what I used to be. It was very liberating as an actor as a result of if you’re enjoying a personality, it’s important to lie very properly. However when you might have a full-on masks, a lot of the mendacity half is already there. So you’ll be able to simply be the character. I had extraordinarily a lot enjoyable doing that. I feel Krampus appears fairly cool.
What was your expertise of working with Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans?
I labored with Dwayne Johnson on The Destiny of the Livid. So we’ve got met earlier than though we did not have any scenes collectively in that film. And Chris Evans, I really like his work, I’ve seen so lots of his films. I really like the chemistry between them and we had loads of enjoyable on set. We shot that scene of the Krampusnacht (Krampus Night time) for at the least a month, three weeks a month. So we acquired time to hold round.
If you happen to performed Krampus’ sport with Dwayne Johnson, who do you suppose would win?
That is a tough query. I feel none of us wish to play the sport. However I would not go up towards Dwayne Johnson in any preventing video games.
Do you suppose there’s sufficient Norwegian illustration in cinema?
I be sure that Norway is represented. Redheads are a minority and we have to get our voice on the market. That is what I am doing. So I am caring for that.
Have you ever watched any Indian films?
Yeah, I’ve some Pakistani and Indian mates. I feel a few of the films are hilarious and really good. I will be looking for these and I need to be in a single. I need to be in a Bollywood film. Make it occur,
