“I tried to maintain some sort of weirdness about the character, at least when I was in all the makeup,” Bill Skarsgard commented. The Losers’ Club actors, left to right: Chosen Jacobs as Mike Hanlon, Sophia Lillis as Beverly Marsh, Wyatt Oleff as Stan Uris, Finn Wolfhard as Richie Tozier, Jack Dylan Grazer as Eddie Kaspbrak, Jeremy Ray Taylor as Ben Hanscom, and Jaeden Lieberher as Bill Denbrough. In fact, Bill recalled, he actually made some of the kids cry when he first unveiled his Pennywise makeup and character to them. He added that he is pretty sure his iteration of Pennywise will do just that (traumatize children), because he really freaked out the child actors on the set of IT early on in the shooting when they were not used to him yet. “It’s a really weird thing to go, ‘If I succeed at doing what I’m trying to do with this character, I’ll traumatize kids,'” Skarsgard said when his brother asked him if it felt weird knowing his would be the face children and maybe even some adults will be seeing in their nightmares for years to come. In specific details, Bill Skarsgard recalled how the iconic Tim Curry take on Pennywise had scarred many of his 10-year-old peers for life when he was a child, and he talked about how strange it felt knowing he would probably be doing the same thing.
The in-between was transcribed by Interview, and it contained a few fascinating nuggets of information about how Bill feels in regards to his terrifying rendition of Pennywise. Swedish actor Bill Skarsgard, who will play the nightmare-inducing cannibalistic shapeshifting clown in this September’s adaptation of Stephen King’s IT, sat down for a chat with brother Alex Skarsgard on Monday.
