So what ’s it like have your calculator - yield act all flow out in front of millions ? We asked Billy Crudup himself what it was like playing the big blue fictitious character who feels no shame .
When we met Billy Crudrup at the Watchmen junket , all anybody need to ask him about was his wang . Kind of makes you feel sad because his performance was really unbelievable . But thankfully he got a small into his persona as well .
What was it like working with such a lack of costume ?
It was just a more elaborate form of what we do all the time , which is fag out wearing apparel that are n’t ours . And enclothe up and pretend to be other people . It was kind of exotic to be a kindling official document for the other actors , and to be without the normal thing that help you to kind of get into character , [ such as ] article of clothing , for one . But it was passably fun .
How accurate is the blue you to the substantial you ?
Well beyond the blue , it ’s a … No , it ’s diminished to make it realistic . They did a optical maser scan and they did really gamey - resolution picture taking of my face , to the stoma . It ’s unbelievable what they ’re able to catch .
Are all the close ups of you , are they all computer generate or is there some point where that ’s your face ?
No , it ’s all computer yield , but again , to say it ’s computer generated it obscure the course . Because there is a mellow definition edition of me on some arduous drive that is precisely my face that I was manipulating with my actual face with all the window pane , so anytime I move a face muscle , it ’s captured there . So I ’m moving the actual puppet of me . It ’s an accurate version of me .
OK back to naked blue you . From the neck opening down , pretty skillful physique how much working out did you do ? Is that very accurate too ?
No
You did do some training though right ?
All my lineament does is this [ raises arm ] .
And the only thing I ’ve got to ask is already I do n’t hump if you read the paper , but the moving-picture show is already being holler Billy Crudup ’s big blue penis movie .
It ’s a good title catchy , may turn some citizenry off but it will draw some masses in .
[ Interrupts ] Obviously it ’s very stylized but you do n’t see wangs like that …
This is the question ?
Waving around in a lot movies . How do you experience personally about that ?
How do I sense about it ? I swallow the part , experience that it would be like that . It was okay with me . Everything that you do as an actor is exposure in some manner or another . This fabric , I ’m not going to say it is me or it is n’t me , or what ’s blue . You have to take on that there is a kind of vulnerability that you make yourself open to as an thespian and some of it is silly former I - see to it - his - butt - chap vulnerability . That ’s part of the deal . They also paid me .
What attracted you to the lineament ?
Within the first varlet and a half , it had passed all my expectations of what a studio apartment comic script movie was capable of . I found that so exciting . You finger like you have thing figured out in your minute setting , so to observe a culture in the comic book music genre that ’s operating with a like school of thought that you ’ve been go in a different cultivation , it ’s such an exciting and enlightening feeling that I was entirely exalt by it . It ’s like discovering a new instrumentalist that ’s been play the kind of music that you need to take heed , who ’s been popular , but in a dissimilar variety of genre than you mind to but that ’s speaking to you in the same kind of way . It was revelatory to me . In terms of Dr. Manhattan , I just could n’t get my nous around him . I could n’t get my drumhead around how to recreate him . I could n’t get an idea of what his motivations could possibly be . So that was really interesting to me . That ’s unremarkably a good sign to me , and they wanted me to do it .
You had to be very still in a sight of scene what was that like ?
When you may make the world revolve around you , you do n’t put a lot of energy … It was really hard because you want to give the audience some idea of what ’s happening . However , again you go back to the stuff . That was the case with Dr. Manhattan , he ’s sort of inscrutable . You ca n’t figure him out . So I calculate upon the material of fix that part of it veracious .
SPOILER warning signal … ..
Were you sore that Laurie stole your terminal melodic phrase from the book ?
Naw , I was happy to give her some more screenland time .
