Stellan Skarsgard: Dune 2 makeup took 8 hours

Recently, Stellan Skarsgård, who plays Baron Harkonnen in Dune 2, revealed to Business Insider that he had to spend 8 hours on makeup on the set, which seemed to be a bad experience, but he believed that this kind of makeup was more impactful than CG.

"It's painful, but it's worth it," Skarsgard said. "We hope that the image of Baron Harkonnen will leave a deep impression on the audience once it appears on the screen, and this impression should last throughout the entire film."

According to Business Insider, Skarsgard played Boots Bill in the Pirates of the Caribbean series about 20 years ago, and his face was covered with marine creatures such as barnacles. At that time, the crew gave him two choices, through CG or traditional makeup, and Skarsgard chose to stay in the makeup chair for several hours.

"Other people on the boat showed up five minutes before the shoot started, had dots painted on their faces, and then they left. I was there for six hours. But I loved it, and I kind of enjoyed the makeup artists painting on my face."
