Adam Pearson is an ardent believer in the old adage: Nothing wagered, nothing gained.
Drier air is moving through San Antonio; it’ll feel great by this evening!1 hour agoGet ready to travel this fall with these Insider DealsBefore Pearson was an actor, he worked at the BBC out of college. He was hired for six months, but, like much in Pearson’s life, he was determined to make the most of it.“I decided I’m going to meet every person on this floor and ask them for coffee,” Pearson says. “If they say yes, great. If they, ‘No, you’re an idiot,’ I already know that.
“I found out who I was by trying loads of things that I wasn’t and by realizing the facade of trying to please people is equally as miserable as the loneliness,” says Pearson. “Once you’re comfortable in your own skin and figure that out, and get to the point where you’re like, ‘It is who I am, like it or lump it,’ and the people that matter don’t mind and the people that mind don’t matter, that’s when you can really find your way.
Schimberg resolved to structure “A Different Man” as a movie that begins with one kind of portrayal and morphs into a more authentic one. He also wanted Pearson’s role to be more reflective of his personality. Oswald isn’t quite Pearson, though he’s close. “Oswald is me but with the volume turned way up, turned up — to reference my favorite film — to 11,” says Pearson. “He’s really charming so there’s a little bit of Ryan Gosling, ‘Stupid Crazy Love.’”
“Reading all the reviews and the press and stuff has been somewhat overwhelming,” Pearson says. “I’m trying to play it cool. I’m like a duck. On the surface, I look cool and sleek and elegant. And underneath I’m kicking like mad. We’ll see what happens. If this is where the acting journey ends, I’m going out on a high. I’m not taking anything for granted. I’m remembering to take a breath and enjoy it all and not get too caught up in it.
