Mads Mikkelsen says there is a “very deliberate” reason why Gellert Grindelwald’s change in appearance won’t be mentioned in “Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets Of Dumbledore”.

Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets Of Dumbledore, told GQ about his process and criticised actors who don’t drop character.“Preparation, you can take into insanity,” Mikkelsen said. “What if it’s a shit film – what do you think you achieved? Am I impressed that you didn’t drop character? You should have dropped it from the beginning! How do you prepare for a serial killer? You gonna spend two years checking it out?”Discussing renowned method actor Daniel Day-Lewis and imagining what it would be like to work together, Mikkelsen said: “I would have the time of my life, just breaking down the character constantly.“‘I’m having a cigarette? This is from 2020, it’s not from 1870 – can you live with it?’ It’s just pretentious.”The actor went on to say the media plays a role in the way method acting is praised, explaining: “The media goes, ‘Oh my god, he took it so seriously, therefore he must be fantastic; let’s give him an award.’ Then that’s the talk, and everybody knows about it, and it becomes a thing.” Meanwhile, Mikkelsen’s Fantastic Beasts co-star Ezra Miller was recently arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and harassment.According to a public statement obtained by The Guardian, Hawaii police allege Miller had become “agitated” and began “yelling obscenities” at other people in a bar singing karaoke last month.The actor reportedly then “grabbed the microphone from a 23-year-old woman singing karaoke and later lunged at a 32-year-old man playing darts.

Zack Sharf Method acting was all the rage this past awards season thanks to performances by Benedict Cumberbatch in “The Power of the Dog” and “House of Gucci” duo Lady Gaga and Jared Leto, but that style of acting doesn’t fly for Mads Mikkelsen. The actor recently told GQ UK that Method acting is “bullshit” and “pretentious.” Mikkelsen has learned new skills for roles, including how to speak different languages and how to ride horses and fight with swords, but he’s never taken his preparation to the level of Method acting.“It’s bullshit,” Mikkelsen said when asked about Method acting.

Method acting has its adherents in Hollywood, ranging from Daniel Day-Lewis (who reportedly never broke character while playing Abraham Lincoln and built a canoe in preparation for “Last of the Mohicans”) to Lady Gaga, who spoke in her faux Italian accent both on- and off-camera for “House of Gucci”.

Mads Mikkelsen is not holding back his opinion of method acting.
