Behind the Scenes for 'A Real Pain' starring Kieran Culkin, Jesse Eisenberg, Olha Bosova, Banner Eisenberg, Jakub Gasowski
The best way to play a free-spirited man who gets under his cousin’s skin is not to prepare at all, says Kieran Culkin.
Eisenberg, who also wrote and directed the film, is a lot like his character, David. Ditto: Culkin and his Benji. Still, that didn’t ease the director’s mind. When the two talked about the stress, Eisenberg asked Culkin, “Did you think you and I were going to be alike?”“That was a big one for him,” the “Succession” star says. “He thought: similar actors, similar age. We talk fast. Same sensibility. We’ll have the same approach. But when his anxieties went through the roof, didn’t. I got to rely on a great script and just say the words.
Because Culkin was familiar with Eisenberg’s work, he was sure he’d be in good hands. “All I gotta do is take this brilliant writing and just do it with this guy who happens to be a good, competent actor who obviously understands the scenes because he wrote them.” What appealed to the actor was the character’s spontaneity."Just when you feel like you’ve got a sense of who this guy is…he says something completely different, and it can be read at many different temperatures.”
