Now, method acting is traditionally<\/a> about using your own lived experiences to inform how you portray a character’s emotions<\/a>. However, it’s become popularly known as when an actor takes on the persona of their character for the duration of the project. See<\/a>: Adrien Brody<\/a>, Jared Leto<\/a>, Daniel Day-Lewis<\/a>, and so on.\"Person<\/p>\n

In a conversation with the New York Times<\/a>, Kristen was asked whether she related to Marlon Brando’s approach to method acting, specifically when he pronounced “Krypton” as “Kryp-tin” in a Superman movie to retain “artistic independence” while doing a “sellout” movie. “Poor male actors. It must be so painful,” Kristen remarked.”That kick-started so many things! Performance is inherently vulnerable and therefore quite embarrassing and unmasculine. There\u2019s no bravado in suggesting that you\u2019re a mouthpiece for someone else\u2019s ideas,” she continued. “It\u2019s inherently submissive. Have you ever heard of a female actor that was method?”\"Person<\/p>\n

Kristen continued, “Men are aggrandized for retaining self. Brando sounds like a hero, doesn\u2019t he? If a woman did that, it would be different. If you have to do 50 push-ups before your close-up or refuse to say a word a certain way.”\"Person“There\u2019s a common act that happens before the acting happens on set: If they can protrude out of the vulnerability and feel like a gorilla pounding their chest before they cry on camera, it\u2019s a little less embarrassing. It also makes it seem like a magic trick, like it is so impossible to do what you\u2019re doing that nobody else could do it,” she added.\"Person<\/p>\n

Calling the “Krypton” moment “defensive,” she continued, “I had a recent conversation that will speak to this. I asked a fellow actor: Have you ever met a female actor that was method and needed to scream and do a whole thing? As soon as I said ‘male actor, female actor,’ the reaction was like, Do not mention the elephant in the room. And he goes, ‘Oh, actresses are crazy.'”\"PersonHer words quickly made the rounds:\"Tweet<\/p>\n
