“I wanted to see how it felt to try doing things that people say the greats do,' George Mackacy says of his preparation for his latest role.
April 22, 2020 11:28 amLast Thursday, the actor George Mackay entered the wrong Zoom meeting., Mackay does most of his job online. But unlike those who might have acclimated to it by now, Mackay insists he’s a “technophobe,” and can’t get it right. On that day, he was mired in digital interviews with press to promote his latest film,, and wasn’t sure he had the correct log-in for an earlier interview. We were scheduled to chat at 3 p.m. EST for this story, but at around 1:30 p.m.
To prepare Mackay and his costars Nicholas Hoult, Charlie Hunnam, and Russel Crowe, for their roles, Kurzel took an unconventional route. He had the actors write punk songs and booked them a gig at a local bar, without telling any of the crowd assembled that this was part of the creative process.
Next, Mackay traveled to Australia, where the movie was filmed. It was important for him to throw himself entirely into the experience, taking on his version of method acting. He measured every meal for months, “to the milligram,” and barely had a drink to achieve his weight goals and become the slippery, reptilian Kelly. He practiced “not being nice” with Kurzel. He traveled to Victoria, where he could juxtapose the culture that he’d seen on the island of Tasmania.
