After making a splash as the wannabe nerdy superhero worship hit film Kick Ass, Aaron Johnson has once again the tongues wagging in Hollywood for her portrait of John Lennon in NOWHERE BOY. Cinemovie sat down with the sexy star of NOWHERE BOY to talk about the difficulty in reproducing the famous Beatles because he stays away from characters close to his personality, and as You Tube helped him get the role.
For the acquisition of adolescence in 50s Liverpool John Lennon, the actor NOWHERE BOY turned to biographies, documentaries, interviews and provide for famous mannerisms Lennon and accent, but the hardest part of the game iconic founder member of the Beatles was learning to play guitar and sing. Before winning the role, the English actor wasn't sure he could pull off the musical aspect of the role. "The only thing holding me back was that couldn't play," but he "immersed in it rather naively" regardless, he said.
When calling casting came, he was shooting Kick Ass in London playing a nerd of American comics. With only one day to prepare for your hearing, the Kick Ass star frantically searched YouTube for videos of Lennon while on his lunch break from filming the comic adaptation. He picked up quickly the accent and personality, but he was concerned about his gaze was not fair to the younger Lennon. Johnson joked his "big bushy hair" Kick Ass were nothing like Lennon 50s look so he improvised and raddrizzava you back.
NOWHERE BOY Director that Sam Taylor-Wood put out a call for musicians to the films of John Lennon, so she worried about the American actor playing a character named Kick Ass would not be the right person for the role of singer Imagine. "I didn't have any hope at all," according to the first feature film director. Once you have opened the door, she said, she knew she had found her Lennon. Was so impressed with his "versatility" in the transition from an action movie with a dramatic role to prepare "timeless" that she knew that he could take it to another level with adequate preparation.
Shifting roles by Dave Lizewski, the "comic book nerdy American" as he describes Johnson, the cocky, troubled John Lennon is now a blur Johnson but he remembered a few scenes difficult. As Lennon in NOWHERE BOY, Johnson has faced much emotional scenes with such great intensity that it would be empty every actor, but admits that it was "funny" in relation to musical scenes. For those scenes, became very "nervous" depicting Lennon as the man in front of The Quarrymen, Lennon first band. "I have been more aware of music stuff" he told the plaintiff 20 years of his time on set and felt some of his musical performances not "feel 100%". It was hard on himself, during those scenes, because he'd get that part of the life of John Lennon's "right".
Play the character of John Lennon was a stretch for Aaron Johnson, who don't have much in common with the famous resident of Liverpool. Playing characters unlike him is the main attraction in the choice of roles. "I'm constantly trying to find something that is different from me. Some actors, he says, "kind of doing the same thing again, again and again. This is not for me "
A role that he wouldn't mind, though, is reprising his alter ego Kick Ass. In September, Director Matthew Vaughn Kick Ass, which is currently directing X:Men: first class, confirmed to MTV a sequel titled Kick Ass 2: Balls to the Wall is in the works. Although Johnson says that hasn't received the official word for the sequel, he would be "happy" meet again.
Kick Ass may have put Aaron Johnson on map Hollywood but his performance endearing in NOWHERE BOY will prove that he is definitely worthy of State list.
NOWHERE BOY opens in select theatres on 8 October.
