Martin Freeman Calls Jim Carrey’s Method Acting In ‘Man On The Moon’ Selfish

Martin Freeman has some choice terms about Jim Carrey’s method acting antics on Andy Kaufman’s 1999 biopic.

Martin Freeman defines Jim Carrey’s success in Man on the Moon as “selfish.”

Man on the Moon, a 1999 film starring Jim Carrey as famed comic Andy Kaufman, was released in 1999. Although the film was not a critical or financial hit, fans still remember it today for Carrey’s outstanding performance as Kaufman, for which he earned a Golden Globe a year after winning the same award for The Truman Show.

During the 1990s, Carrey starred in several classic comedies, including Ace Ventura, The Mask, and Dumb and Dumber. Still, his dramatic appearances at the end of the decade marked a turning point in his career. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was his next dramatic role and one of his finest. Although Carrey’s on-screen appearance in Man on the Moon is unforgettable. It is also noteworthy for his uncompromising process acting, as he remained in character as Kaufman for the duration of the film’s making, both on and off camera. Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond, a Netflix documentary released in 2017, chronicles Carrey’s incredible transformation into Kaufman.

Martin Freeman Believes Jim Carrey’s Behavior On The Set of ‘Man On The Moon’ Was Unprofessional

Martin Freeman, speaking on the Off-Menu podcast, has some harsh words about Carrey’s process acting antics on the set of Man on the Moon. Carrey’s behavior on set, according to Martin Freeman, was unprofessional, amateurish, and a fireable offense. Freeman is popular for his roles in Black Panther, The Office, and The Hobbit trilogy.

The legitimacy of method acting, a practice established by Russian actor Konstantin Stanislavski, is called into doubt by Freeman’s rant. Most notably, Daniel Day-Lewis, other process performers have thoroughly invested themselves in their jobs without being accused of being unprofessional, despite Marlon Brando’s reputation for being unpleasant to deal with at first.

Freeman’s concern with method acting is that actors are using it as a front for acting in an unprofessional manner on stage, rather than method acting itself. Recent allegations of unprofessionalism leveled against Joss Whedon. And allegations leveled against Noel Clarke on the set of Doctor Who has sparked a conversation regarding unprofessional on-set conduct. Freeman’s scathing remarks about Carrey’s actions on the set of Man on the Moon are a welcomed contribution to the present conversation.

Martin Freeman Believes The Story Of Black Panther 2 Has Some Odd Parts

Martin Freeman has obtained the whole story of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever from writer-director Ryan Coogler, and he says there are some odd parts.

Fans had strong hopes with Wakanda Forever as the successor to 2018’s Black Panther, the first Marvel film nominated for Best Picture. The 2022 film, however, has an added layer of poignancy due to the passing of franchise star Chadwick Boseman last August. Boseman was scheduled to return to Black Panther 2. But instead, his sequel would be a worthy tribute to his legacy.

Writer and director Ryan Coogler wrote for Black Panther Wakanda Forever to honor Boseman’s passing. The detailed story specifics for the sequel are not yet public. However, a general summary stated that Black Panther: Wakanda Forever will continue to explore the titular nation and the several characters established in the first film. Nakia (Lupita Nyong’o), Shuri (Letitia Wright), Ramonda (Angela Bassett), M’Baku (Winston Duke), and Everett K. Ross seem to be among them (Freeman).

Freeman Did Not Reveal More Information Regarding The Storyline

Freeman appeared with James Corden on Tuesday night at the Late Late Show. And offered a fascinating tease about Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. As is customary for Marvel films, Freeman was unable to reveal any more regarding the storyline. After chatting with Coogler, he did reveal that he is familiar with the story and that he finds portions of it strange.

Freeman’s disappointment at the plot of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever demonstrates how we can’t predict this series. The filmmakers agreed to alter the script after Boseman’s passing. And Freeman initially claimed he didn’t think Black Panther 2 would happen. It may not have been easy to change the storyline after Boseman’s passing. But Coogler looks like his sleeve has something genuinely unique.

Freeman’s description of the story as strange is confusing to some fans. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever seems to have various twists and turns in store, which may be positive. Superhero movies often have repeating story beats, although that might not be the case this time around. Coogler is a gifted storyteller, and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever would be fun to see what he has planned. Despite his initial surprise, Freeman is already on board, which could bode well for what lies ahead. Hopefully, Marvel would reveal more information regarding the story eventually.
