How Sebastian Stan Transformed for ‘A Different Man’
Makeup artist Mike Marino warned Sebastian Stan that transforming him for his latest role in A24’s “A Different Man” would require much more from the actor than just wearing a mask.
It would be a transformation that would require him to live in the character’s shoes.
In the film, which opened Friday, Stan plays Edward, a man with neurofibromatosis, a genetic condition that causes tumors to grow on the skin and bone. He undergoes medical treatment to change his appearance and radically transforms. Things are going well until he meets Oswald, played by Adam Pearson. Oswald is everything he’s not – confident, funny, popular and charismatic.
Before they began, Marino knew he would have to cover at least one of Stan’s eyes and one ear. Says Marino, “I warned him. I said, ‘We’re going to coat your entire head, hair and everything with glue, and it’s going to be hot and uncomfortable.’”
The two-time Oscar-nominated makeup artist took photos and live-cast Stan. In addition, he took 3D scans of the actor’s head and printed a 3D version of him. Marino also took a scan of Pearson and 3D-printed his face for reference. “I began the process of what I thought could work on Sebastian, but there were technical limitations to where his mouth, eyes and ears were,” says Marino. “I had to proportionally balance what I could do with Sebastian as makeup, as design not just to copy and mirror Adam’s face.”
