'Strange Way of Life' actors José Condessa and Jason Fernández on emulating Pedro Pascal and Ethan Hawke, as well as their hot-and-heavy sequence.
star Manu Rios, and George Steane in front of swarming photographers, Fernández donned a short-sleeved blouse with a tie neck, while his other costar José Condessa sported all black with a collared shirt open down to his naval. "It was literally a dream within a dream," Fernández tells EW of that experience. "It was something that's really indescribable." Condessa, a 26-year-old Portuguese actor, feels the same.
Condessa and Fernández appear only briefly in a flashback: While drinking wine straight from a wineskin they had littered with bullet holes, the younger Silva and Jake quickly turn their attention away from the female prostitutes in the room and begin to aggressively fondle each other in a giddy haze. Still, the actors underwent multiple rounds of auditions.
For their actual scene in the film, which was roughly a page long in the script, Fernández remembers having seven or eight meetings with Condessa and Almodóvar to find the truth of the moment. Almodóvar says he was inspired by a scene from the 1979 Western, in which the cowboys enter a cellar filled with Mexican prostitutes.
