Adrien Morot says ‘good friend’ Brendan Fraser texted to inform him of nomination for best makeup and hairstyling
says he’s grateful for Oscar recognition of a project that stands as one of the most demanding of his career.
Fraser earned a best actor nomination for his turn as a reclusive English teacher, Charlie, who attempts to reconnect with his estranged daughter. “Most of the time, the success of the movie doesn’t rest on your shoulders,” Morot said Tuesday from Los Angeles. The Darren Aronofsky film has been dogged by criticism of the decision to put Fraser in a fat suit, as well as its depiction of Charlie and his weight, which some have called fatphobic.
“You see how good Brendan is and what he brings to the table by playing this part…. I can’t imagine anybody else playing the part.”“The Whale” is his fifth collaboration with the notoriously uncompromising filmmaker, following “Mother!”, “Noah,” and “The Fountain,” as well as “White Boy Rick,” which Aronofsky produced.
Morot said the team had 12 weeks to build the suit but when it came time to shoot, Aronofsky was not happy with its limited movement.
