The Oscar-winning actor and Oscar-nominated makeup designer Göran Lundström reveal the collaborative process of turning the actor into his unrecognizable on-screen persona, Paolo Gucci.
Jared, you’re known for disappearing into a role. How does the hair and makeup play a part in that process?I’ve heard about actors who didn’t have the character until they put on the shoes. In this case, I was sent the script for another part; when I read the script, I really connected with this character and I saw a lot of opportunity for heart and humor. Once I started doing the research, I [knew] this was going to be a pretty intense transformation. And I love immersive work.
I said to Ridley, “I’m going to go absolutely fucking crazy.” Ridley’s genius is that he hires who he thinks is best and he doesn’t second-guess it. He expects you to have the answers, and that’s a beautiful burden he puts on you, that confidence. He trusted Göran and I to come up with something that works.
Three weeks sounds like it could be a lot of time, but what we had to do was not straightforward. I couldn’t just sculpt something, mold it, put silicone on and be done. You’re trying things out until you get it right — and we didn’t have that much time to get it right. Did you also feel that pressure, Göran, since you were basically designing the look of a real person?It was more important to me that Jared looked believable — we didn’t get stuck too much on Paolo’s look, because Jared has completely different bone structure. I just tried to get the personality of Paolo in there. But I had no idea what Jared was going to do with this character.
