Evan Rachel Wood stars oppose Daniel Radcliffe in Weird. Evan Rachel Wood gave Madonna a personal touch.
In the new comedy biopic Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, the Emmy nominee portrays the legendary singer opposite Daniel Radcliffe as the movie’s co-writer and titular parody musician. Wood, 35, spoke to E! News about the ridiculous way she portrayed the now 64-year-old Madonna in the 1980s.
“I watched a ton of interviews and would frequently play them on set just to get used to the tone and rhythm of her voice. I simply let her wild on set, turned up the foundation I had, and created the most deranged, stage-mom-like Madonna anyone had ever seen “She spoke out.
Wood noted that she and the project’s co-producer, Radcliffe, 33, “were both fully devoted and had a fantastic sense of humour.”
Wood spoke at the Toronto Film Festival in September about his preparation for the role of Madonna.
She added, “This is one of the most enjoyable projects I’ve worked on.” “I thought, “Oh no, now I’m only going to want to do comedies,” since it had been such an amazing experience. It was frequently quite challenging to maintain composure.”
She remembered that, from clothing and costume to hair and makeup, “everyone had fun” creating the Madonna character, who was largely fictitious.
Before the filming, Wood remarked, “I simply binge-watched Madonna interviews from the early ’80s and her music videos and stuff.” “Fun was had. Going back to review and realize, “Oh, right, she’s a genius,” is always enjoyable. She became Madonna for a reason.”
Afterward, Wood declared she wanted to preserve the costumes. She remarked of the Madonna outfits, “Every day it was just as fun as the first time I put it on.” “I would just record myself moving around and Dubsmashing in my trailer constantly. But I don’t believe I was given anything to retain.”
Strange: You can now watch The Al Yankovic Story on The Roku Channel.
