Ana De Armas Blonde Marilyn Monroe Transformation | Behind The Scenes

Foreign, oh! No! It must be awfully strange to be in well a hero. The recent blonde movie that starred anader Moss as the copycat lookalike to Marilyn Monroe, told the story of one of the biggest stars in the world during her time and with anadi armas. Looking so much like her, even without the makeup, it's interesting to see just what went into the transformation into looking even more like this actress, the audition process was quite extensive. The first time I auditioned for Andrew he gave me the script. I had just read it and I met him and we talked about it and he actually asked me how much time do you think you need, and I was like well forever. We learned that Anna had to dye her eyebrows and wear blue contacts, and, although it doesn't seem like much it's more of an effort than one might think just for the photo shoot, it was a lot of work, a photo shoot for the stills of Marilyn Monroe. That would feature throughout Andrew Dominic's blonde was essential to the hair and makeup team and transforming anodermas into the celebrated icon. Everything was so tied up to what she was feeling the way she would move her face and eyebrows and mouth and lips and her body and her posture and everything was so when you start understanding what she was feeling and then you watch how she moves it. All makes sense: it's like you, you understand why she's doing that the Mandate was to find our Maryland and Anna and not put Marilyn's hair and makeup on Anna, but to Define our Maryland and Define her as the best we could and as we can see in This time lapse, there were many people surrounding her in terms of what all had to be done and before we get into more of how she was able to transform into this very well-known actress, some trivia for you. Just how long did it take anadermas to transform into Marilyn Monroe leave your answer in the comments down below and stick around to the end of the video to find out? If your answer was correct foreign, it all began with the silicone cap as opposed to a regular, bald cap. Damas'S hair was dark and thick, so it needed to be completely hidden and a regular cap would not work due to the number of changes. The actress would sit through in a day because we had time I was working with to dial a coach every day, several hours a day watching her films writing the book just on YouTube all day, long, just finding random videos of her and interviews and footage and Audios and everything I could find so three custom-made silicone pieces, each side and a top were made for their Moss that could endure the nine week, rigorous shooting schedule, their moth supported blue contact lenses for the film and perfecting the eye shape. Kerwin used false eyelashes on the corner of the actress's eyelids foreign, make sure you guys check out our Instagram page link down in the description. There'S a ton of interview, moments and memes. So make sure you check it out and give us a follow your audition. He knew that you would be his Maryland. Did you have a sense? Take three take three take three, the third time you auditioned and she talked about the pressure to do all these looks for the photo shoots within the film to get the precise looks when she smiles. She has this sense of freedom and we can find Marilyn within on it. The point of this film is to tell the story of Marilyn Monroe during all the points in her life, so many different versions of her had to be created. It was so important to really give homage to those great designers. It was my job to make sure that her costumes felt like so many images we'd grown up looking at she goes into talking about not only the look of Maryland but the sound and for how long she was working on just the voice sounds like more than You might think I had just been working on the accent for maybe nine months. It was a process that of course started with watching films, listening to interviews and audio recordings way of love, love love you all back to how Anna had to learn regarding Marilyn's choreography. For a dance number, she didn't have a whole lot of time to learn the choreography, but she also had to get the facial expressions down and she walks us through what it was like. I mean for me recreating this scene was just so surreal. We only had two days to learn the choreography. One of my dreams is to do a musical, so for me to do this was just I had a lot of fun in recreating Diamonds. Are a Girl's Best Friend from Gentlemen, Prefer Blondes Kerwin mixed a fuchsia lip with red. It was mixed to make it a little bit more intense when you saw her in person it felt too much, but for the camera and the monitor it balanced out. But we also had to match the dancers that was where McIntosh stepped in, so her accent itself was all over the place. Her voice was consistent, which is very different, so it was hard. It was hard. It was a hard process without the resources to get wigs. She faced a challenge. The gray is painted in their hair to make them more distinguished. She adds there are silvery streaks painted in and when you look at the original, you think why would they do that? So we had to copy that McIntosh notes she made armas's wig for this scene, a little straighter. It doesn't have the curl and Bounds. She adds if there's a story to tell on that one. She was losing her widow's peak in the lighting which kept blowing it out so Andrew made me paint it a bit darker nail those little details to help it look like Marilyn and not like a wig. It has been a challenge but yeah a lot of practice and playing and testing and finally finding Marilyn as McIntosh. It was one more in the massive list of Recreations that we had to bang out quickly on a recollect performing the scene of one of the reasons she is known, standing under a vent with her dress slightly flowing. I can only imagine what she he went through that day. This part, when we see her and these pictures and this image in the film it does the images that we have and she's so beautiful and smiling, and you know apparently having fun, but in the movie we're seeing the other side we're seeing what she is looking At from her point of view, it's pretty incredible that she just didn't walk away and said: I'm I'm done with this. In a September 2022 interview with variety anadermas detailed, her process of becoming Marilyn Monroe for the screen, her preparation period began before she was even finished. Filming Knives Out the 2019 Ryan Johnson murder mystery in which they are most starred in in order to prepare her final screen test for blonde daramos would put in hours of work after shooting knives out working with an accent coach to perfect mineral's voice and work around Her own Cuban accent, proud of this film and the work we'll put in it and then Andrew Dominic is an incredible director, I'm very lucky. He gave me this opportunity and - and I just can't wait for people to see it - I'm so so proud of uh right here. That'S a photo Marilyn song, yeah uh. This is the dog in the film and that's actually, your real life dog. That'S Elvis! That'S my dog yeah, once the shooting for blonde began, Derma spent her off hours learning the choreography for the musical scenes in the film. Firstly, she stayed true to some key advice from director Andrew Dominic. The actress said he put me in a very, very specific emotional state. Just imagine for a second that you can't express anger. What that does to you is definitely not healthy. Additionally, Dominic chose not to call cut to give dermas more freedom laughs. These Transformations were very tricky. We didn't only have to nail one look: Marilyn Monroe is the most iconic female figure of the 20th century, she's supposed to look a certain way like I seen, but also Marilyn performing in the scene. We did a lot of takes of that of that too, which is something that also happened there. I can only imagine what she went through that day. One of the best things that could have been done for this film was a collection of real Maryland photographs, which were collected over the course of a decade for the makeup and hair stylist to really study her look. They called it the Bible, as it was their go-to to research, not only how she looked but posture how she pose and how she smiled. This Bible was 750 something pages and he just passed this to every Department, hair and makeup, all the actors, props and, of course, wardrobe. I have never had more wardrobe fittings in my entire life McIntosh. Looked to the good book for guidance as she styled the five customized human-haired wigs used to duplicate Monroe's Lush locks, tube darker blonde wigs were used to portray a young Marilyn while three true blonde wigs were used to portray the Starlet in her Heyday until death. The units each constructed with a lace base and costing around nine thousand dollars a piece were all specifically structured to read some Monroe's widow's peak hairline and to properly fit their Mouse's head in the production office. We had every scene on like a small card and then vertically below it would be the images from her life. It was an obsession to try and make an image that you know and recreate it perfectly and as far as our trivia question Jane Lee McIntosh, hair department, head and makeup department head Tina, Rossler Kerwin spent two and a half hours each morning, applying hair and makeup To dermas, while the duo created over a hundred looks only 50 or 60 made it into the final cut, it was not just figuring out her expressions and eyebrows and how much my bottom teeth would show and rounding the O's, and all of that, all of that You can get from images, but it was the feeling of it. She was so insecure McIntosh dyed the hair pieces to amplify their tones and add depth at the roots for a more authentic appearance. The Prosthetics basically created a bald cap so that when the wigs went on they'd, look like they were going on, top of skin explained Rossler Kerwin once they were in place. We'D airbrush the whole thing to match the color of her foundation, she's, so beautiful and smiling, and you know apparently having fun, but in the movie we're seeing the other side we're seeing what she is looking at. From her point of view, it's pretty incredible. So what did you guys think about all this?
