‘The Whale’ director is addressing the controversy surrounding star Brendan Fraser’s fat suit and his character’s obesity.
When asked about criticism of the project, which is adapted bythat it “makes no sense” to him. The director argued that “actors have been using makeup since the beginning of acting—that’s one of their tools. And the lengths we went to portray the realism of the makeup has never been done before. One of my first calls after casting Brendan was to my makeup artist,I asked him, ‘Can we do something that’s realistic?’ Because if it’s going to look like a joke, then we shouldn’t do it.
Aronofsky then acknowledged that “people with obesity are generally written as bad guys or as punch lines,” adding, “We wanted to create a fully worked-out character who has bad parts about him and good parts about him; Charlie is very selfish, but he’s also full of love and is seeking forgiveness. So [the controversy] makes no sense to me.”
