“Giving life to Paolo was like pulling a bowling ball out of my sphincter. I keep saying my butt was shaking like two little chicken bones on that set. It was a very physical performance. There’s something about corduroy, I think: when you turn it on, it’s like you can set yourself on fire, “Leto, 49, said in an interview for i-D.
Leto, who played the Joker in Suicide squadHe commented that he did everything. “I was inhaling salsa lines angry in the middle of this movie. I had olive oil for blood. This was a deep dive that I did. If you took a biopsy of my skin, it would come back like Parmesan cheese! ”He said.
This is my love letter to Italy. There was a lot of work and preparation; and yes, I had an Italian accent and I enjoyed it and accepted it, and lived in that space as much as I could, and for as long as I possibly could. I went up to that creative cave and came out through the entrails and intestines to the esophagus of the only Paolo Gucci ”, he added.
Regarding the accent, Leto said there was a bit of Paolo’s recorded voice. “So I relied on that in part, but the parts that I didn’t have I took from Gucci’s creative director. I stole half of the voice (from Alessandro Michele) to be honest. Honestly, the sideways look he gave me after hearing my voice in the movie. I warned him, ‘Don’t get too close to me, because I’ll take your psyche and screw it up on the screen sometime.’ He’s too great a character, “he explained in the dialogue.
