Not many people can hang out with Carrie Bradshaw The Carrie Diaries to fight Timothée Chalamet on the planet of Arrakis — but Austin Butler isn’t your average actor.
On 26 February, The Dune: Part Two The actor appeared The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon To talk about the highly anticipated sci-fi sequel.
“How did you get into your character? It looks like you just kind of went mental,” host Jimmy Fallon asked Butler, showing a picture of the actor looking unrecognizable in the film.
“As for the villain, I’ve never played a character like him,” said Butler, who plays the ruthless Fayed-Rautha. “I didn’t want to judge him. So I had to imagine a lot of what his childhood was like,” referring to his character being raised by Baron Vladimir Harkonen, played by Stellan Skarsgård.
Butler admitted that her co-star, Zendaya, was going to join her The Tonight ShowBut she could not do it because she was ill.
“Her voice is completely gone. She said to send her love,” Butler told Fallon. “She was such a trouper last night at the premiere. You’d never know she was sick, she’s such a queen.”
