10 Strange Ways Actors Prepared For Recent Movie Roles

10. Paul Dano Had A One Hour Creepy Voice Session With Matt Reeves - The Batman

Definitely acting as one of the more disturbing performances unleashed into the superhero sphere in recent times, it likely won't come as too much of surprise to hear that some of Paul Dano's prep for the part of Edward Nashton was a little, well, creepy.

Well, that's how the Gotham flick's director Matt Reeves saw it at least, with The Batman helmer recalling a tale of himself and Dano sharing a deeply unsettling experience together during his leading villain's quest to explore The Riddler's notable voice changer.

As Reeves would explain to Digital Spy:

"He did this thing where he put on that mask and he had the voice changer and I had the headphones in and he just kept going, 'Matt, I'm talking to you Matt'. I was like, 'This is really creepy, Paul'"

Dano's commitment to working out precisely how he could use said voice changer to add another layer of terror to his already pretty darn disturbing masked turn more than paid off, mind, with his Riddler performance earning rave reviews in the end... even if Reeves did have to sit with those headphones on and listen to his no doubt chilling vocal exploration "for like an hour".
