Transformation of Stellan Skarsgård into Baron Harkonnen for Dune 2
Swedish actor Stellan Skarsgård spent eight hours in the makeup chair for his role in Canadian director Denis Villeneuve's Dune: Part Two.
The actor played the role of Baron Vladimir Harkonnen. According to him, the process was painful, but it was worth it. “We wanted his character to be so recognizable that it could make an impression on people just by appearing on screen. And this imprint should remain throughout the entire film, without his constant appearance,” said the actor.
Skarsgård emphasized that he enjoys watching artists work.
