We talked to Ashleigh Chavis about working with actors' real ink in The Bikeriders.
The Bikeriders was released in theaters this weekend, and it is based on a photography book by Danny Lyon that follows a motorcycle club in the 1960s. The film was helmed by Jeff Nicholes and stars Austin Butler as Benny, Tom Hardy as Johnny, Michael Shannon as Zipco, Norman Reedus as Funny Sonny, and Boyd Holbrook as Cal, who are all members of the gang. The film also features Mike Faist as Danny Lyon and Jodie Comer as Kathy, Benny's wife.
"Jeff was, and along with my own research and everything between the two of us, we were at an understanding of what was not common in the '60s and '50s and everything for men to have as far as tattoos goes," Chavis explained."So a lot of tattoos that these guys walk into the trailer with today are just way too modern. They just don't work for that.
"But costumes, they worked so well and did such an amazing job with the guys that were really inked up or had full sleeves. They put them in long sleeves and it didn't compromise the characters at all. So that really helped us out," she continued."But yeah, I think actors like Tom who have a lot on them, depending on the character, it could absolutely work.
Tom Hardy Breaks Down His Character From The Bikeriders:In The Bikeriders, Hardy plays Johnny, the leader of The Vandals. While chatting with ComicBook, Hardy spoke about how layered his character is in the film."Well, a vulnerability to somebody who externally projects themselves as being something that internally they're not," Hardy explained."I think that's true of all people. They're a paradox of conflicting drivers.
The Bikeriders is now playing in theaters. Stay tuned for more from our interview with Ashleigh Chavis.
