Downey Praises Murphy's Dedication in 'Oberman': Memorizing 30,000 Words
2023-07-26
Robert Downey Jr. expresses his admiration for Eddie Murphy's outstanding performance in the movie 'Oberman.' Murphy's remarkable dedication and talent in the role have left Downey deeply impressed. Murphy willingly memorized 30,000 words and fully immersed himself in the character, even undergoing weight loss to stay true to the role. His intense focus and dedication elevated his performance to extraordinary levels, leaving a lasting impression.
In Downey's words: 'When Nolan called him, he knew it would be a challenging request. But I believe he also showed humility, which is essential for portraying this character. Our conversation at that time was like:
'Hey, we have a three-day weekend. Maybe we can go to Santa Fe to play with antiques. What are you planning to do?'’
‘哦，我要学3万个荷兰语单词。祝你玩得愉快。’”
Murphy fully immersed himself in the role, mentioning that he even went on a diet to be faithful to the character.
'It was like being on a train. Bang, bang, bang, bang. You can only sleep for a few hours, and when you wake up, it's bang, bang again,' Murphy said in an IndieWire interview. 'I had abundant energy, and I no longer worried about food or anything. I was completely immersed, in a state of hyper-awareness. But that's good because that's how this character is. He never eats.'
