“The Offer” star Matthew Goode dwells on the mixed reaction to the series: ‘Maybe it happened or it didn’t. But did you enjoy the acting?’

One of the most rewarding features To suggestThe most talked about Paramount + series that tells about creation Godfather, It is Matthew Goode’s performance as Robert Evans. Here, the English actor is best known for his work Garland Y Კ A good wife He talks about the firm’s transition to the cult executive position and what it was like to study its 10-part authentication.

“It’s ridiculous for me to do that [project] “It looks like they’re being mistreated,” Good told Deadline. “I’m fine, so maybe it didn’t happen and maybe it didn’t. But did you enjoy acting? Did you like the incredible work of the people, the way they used the original images of The Godfather and created the same scenario again? Did you like how it was shot? I think they were treated a little harshly, but the audience liked it. That’s all we can hope for. “

TERM I couldn’t think of anything scarier than playing the Hollywood icon. What was your initial reaction when you were offered the job?

Matteo is good It was an incredible opportunity. It’s amazing when someone is so sure about doing this, but it was awful because of course I saw it that day, in The Kid Stays photo and loved it. This is a documentary that stands out. Not a small character, this man. His voice scared me. I called director Dexter Fletcher on the phone and said: thank you. It’s wonderful that you trust me, but I have to work hard on that. ‘ There are a lot of YouTube wormholes I’ve discovered, some great interviews Bob did in 1977. I’ve listened to them a hundred times. He would then start giving this speech early in episode six and then send it to Dexter to see what he would think of it. So I almost lost my job because of the visa. It took forever. So I had a week where I finally got to the set. He was doing all the other tests. In a way, it was good enough because I can lose faith quickly. Sometimes it’s best to start joking, stop and don’t think too much.

TERM How would you describe Bob’s voice?

Matteo is good It seems to be constantly disturbing, but it has an unusual musicality. Difficult to describe, cadence and timbre. I have spent a long time learning this speech. In my bedroom I walked over and kept talking like a clock and clocks. There is so much I can do. In fact, I’m walking high on Bob. You do the whole body. It’s not just about sound. But for me it was huge. Because everything ends with the rest. Determine how you move. What good is it when you do all the sound and motion work, will you be confident in your skin? It is like entering another person’s body. And then protect yourself with lots of polyester from the 70s. And the finishing touch, of course, was the first day they brought out this wonderful glass box. There were 25 couples. They were asking, “Which do you think will work, blah blah blah?” And I said, let’s use them all.

TERM Tanning should have been involved, right?

Matteo is good Yes. I mean, it would be nice to turn Ray Winston into a mature monster who sat by the pool for two months. Although I was a little nervous because I had skin cancer. For the first couple of days I sat outside and blushed a little from my English alabaster skin. So I started spraying. It’s terrible. It’s not like your friend did it. This is another alien. You are naked before the pants, I don’t mean the pants and you are asked to do those movements before you spray them. Eventually they had to quit because I was getting a big chunk of my makeup budget.

TERM The series was about Bob’s relationship with Ali McGraw. One thing that happened in your performance was how much influence it had on Robert. He was a very sensitive man.

Matteo is good He has since married six other women! You can say, “Oh woman, blah blah blah.” But I explain it as a romantic who is really trying to find the right person and it just doesn’t work. In the movie “Baby Remains in the Picture”, you can feel the feeling of losing him when he talks about Ali, as if he knows he made a big mistake and that she was the love of his life. We also know that he returned home when they had a child together. So they had a colleague, which is not the case in our version of events. There was closeness with them. But that was the little moment in Kids where I really wanted to get into it. This scene wasn’t necessarily on the page we were about to tear down. His ego was also shattered in that moment. I think there is a kind of naivety at the beginning of the scene where [Ali comes to his home] He says: “That’s right, I have a chef, I have food and we came. I’ll take it back. ‘ Besides, these divorce papers come out and you can’t believe it. It’s nice to see him, this man who is so passionate and so smart about running a PR training firm. You can’t have this passion for work and not have it in your personal life. It was a wonderful bow, one of the best I think I’ll give him. Be the king of Hollywood first and then literally Bose as an oboe in your living room. And let it be a phoenix rising from the ashes. It was discovered by Nick Tuscany. We had wonderful writing.

TERM The series made people very nostalgic for how the movies were making.

Matteo is good It was a real sweet spot in 1970s Hollywood. We lost a $ 50 million movie. Shawshank Redemption, it won’t be done today. Where is the plot? I love the new Harold and let’s go. This is why television is in its golden age. Most of the truly wonderful work comes from people adapting books. Why do you want to turn a book into a movie now?

TERM What would you ask Bob if you had a chance to talk to him before he died?

Matteo is good If only I could come to dinner, just to see how close it was, really. I just want to hear all the stories. The point where you are really lucky is when you work with great old men. I’ve never worked with Peter O’Toole, which is a shame, but I started working with Michael Kane, and it was great. One of my favorite books is David Niven’s The Moon’s a Balloon. This is one of the best autobiographies. After that I get a little nervous. It seems that Hollywood was a more romantic place in the 1940s, 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. Now it has become, I don’t know, such a deal and you have to be very careful, because these days the smallest things can be erased. And this is good. People need to convert and everything must be better. But he lost it a little by flickering in his eyes. This is something that is very cool to watch, The Offer, as it takes you back to a time when this flicker still existed.

TERM It was interesting to get a movie. He’s already confused and I wonder if this happens because people are so protective of the film’s legacy.

Matteo is good I had it tied to me and I was a little surprised, I think, but hey, freedom of expression. I will not prevent anyone from expressing their opinion on this. Everyone respects him. Could it be that when Al Rudd was dealing with all of this, he wasn’t saying it? There were many secrets he had to keep to himself. As for Francis Ford Coppola, he said: “I don’t remember being on the set.” Yes, because he took care of the mafia and lit a lot of fire. Some of these critics just say it turned out to be 11 or that it’s a lie. There’s a quote from the classic Bob Evans: “There are always three versions for everyone. Here’s your version Here’s my version. And that’s the truth. ‘ I haven’t seen any of this written in The Crown, which was gratifying. Whenever you get something based on real experience, the writers know something about it, but it’s all fiction, my dear. Of course, some things will be a little off since this isn’t a documentary. We weren’t there. We don’t know what was said. We know the points. If you do a series, you will get to these points and the rest is creative imagination. There is a lot of creativity in it. But it’s fun for me [project] He appears to be mistreated. I’m fine, so maybe it didn’t and maybe it didn’t. But did you like acting? Did you enjoy the incredible work of the people, how they used the Godfather’s original designs and recreated the same set? Do you understand how they were photographed? I am passionate about this. I think they were treated a little harshly, but the audience liked it. This is all we can hope for.
