Jeremy Strong Went Full Method as Mark Zuckerberg While Filming The Social Reckoning
The actor only talked like the tech founder during the movie's production, even off set. Jeremy Strong Went Full Method as Mark Zuckerberg While Filming The Social Reckoning Liz Shannon Miller
Jeremy Strong, known for his dedication to his craft, has been revealed to have gone all-out as Mark Zuckerberg in Aaron Sorkin’s upcoming The Social Reckoning. This commitment goes beyond the typical filming process, with Strong maintaining the Zuckerberg voice 24/7, even off set. This level of dedication, as writer Alex Pappademas describes, is a trait Strong applies to all of his projects.
During their interview, Strong spoke with Pappademas in a Polish accent, as he is currently fully immersed in his character from The Boys From Brazil. He emphasizes his desire to portray a person, rather than a character with a distinct accent; the voice is the most individual aspect of any individual. Friend and actor Bradley Cooper shared his admiration for Strong's method, stating that he has "talked to Mark Zuckerberg many times - I had a whole friendship with Mark Zuckerberg, and Mark Zuckerberg has no idea."
The article highlights that Strong's commitment to method acting is largely based on intense research. Although Jared Leto's dedication in Morbius included waiting for crew members while using his fake crutches, Strong's method seems to have a more positive outcome as we wait for The Social Reckoning's release on October 9th. Interestingly, Strong was Sorkin's second choice for the role of Zuckerberg, following Jesse Eisenberg's refusal.
