The Sandman's Tom Sturridge reveals extreme measures taken to become Morpheus
, but transforming into such a character took a ton of hard work and dedication, the actor has revealed., Sturridge explained how important the physical side of Morpheus, who is the king of dreams and nightmares, is, as well as the measure he took to prepare for such a physical role.
"There’s so many aspects of his physicality that were important to me, simply because he doesn’t express himself traditionally, often. And so the way that he moves, I think, could be an enlightening way of how he can articulate himself," Sturridge says., Morpheus is"nude and silent for 45 minutes," so it was a challenge to show that Morpheus was not human.
"I wanted to build a body that felt like a creature and was true to the images that are in the comics. Which meant just kind of… It’s someone whose flesh is burnt away, and is just sinew and bone," Sturridge said. "As far as how difficult that was to achieve – it was in the sense that it required discipline and working out and not eating that much. But actually, acting is such an ephemeral job. We’re constantly trying to catch clouds when we go to work. To work out is really easy. Because you just do the six things they tell you to do, and it happens.
