At “the end of this movie, everyone is going to see that Sebastian Stan is jealous of Adam Pearson, and they’re going to believe and understand that,” says Schimberg. “In a way, it’s me trying to take ownership of this idea that being different has value. People are coming away from it feeling like Adam is a star.”
Pearson co-starred in Schimberg’s 2019 film “Chained for Life,” playing an actor acting opposite a beautiful woman . The experience was rewarding for Schimberg but some of the discussion around it led to “A Different Man.” Some alleged Pearson’s casting was exploitative, an argument that struck Schimberg as illustrative. Schimberg, who has a cleft palate, had written the role partially based on himself. He considers disability a core subject for himself as a filmmaker.
“Partially because he was shy in ‘Under the Skin’ and partially because characters with disfigurements are often portrayed as shy, everyone assumed he was shy,” says Schimberg. “Until I met him, I wouldn’t have known, either, how extraverted and gregarious he is.” Before shooting began, Pearson worked with Stan to synchronize and compare parts of their movements and performances. He was also learning. “I’ve always said, if you want to learn how to do something, find someone who does it better than you and just get in their way.”
Asked to recall a moment from this year that he'll cherish, Pearson describes attending the Berlin Film Festival with his mother and brother.
