Jacob Elordi spent "10 hours" in makeup "every day" to transform into Frankenstein's Monster.
The 28-year-old actor plays the Creature in Guillermo del Toro’s upcoming interpretation of Mary Shelley's iconic 1818 novel Frankenstein, and Guillermo said Jacob worked with "42 pieces of makeup, prosthetics".
The 60-year-old filmmaker told E! News at the Los Angeles, California, premiere of the movie on October 6: "He took around 10 hours every day and about 42 pieces of makeup, prosthetics. And then he would have to work.”
And Guillermo was impressed by how Jacob embraced the makeup.
The director added: “He did it all with grace and patience and love.
"I told him, 'Look, it's like when a priest is getting dressed, there are many layers to the robes and the ceremonial guard. You have to think, this is your Ceremonial Guard. You're invoking the Creature.'
"And the result is heartbreaking and beautiful. It’s a really naked performance - emotionally so close to innocence that it breaks your heart."
