Sadie Sink was breathtaking in a classic black Chanel dress.
Fraser, Sink, Simpkins, and Aronofsky worked the press line instead—they’re seasoned vets for all the obvious reasons, but also because they’ve been touringThe narrative of Fraser’s comeback, of course, has dominated headlines, along with theories galore about how he channeled his real-life experiences—especially those which caused him to back away from Hollywood for a bit—to play the 600-pound recluse, Charlie.
“Yes,” Fraser said. “It’s an actor’s job to draw on your own experience, to help give authenticity to it. The alchemy of actors’ processes has always been a strange voodoo, but with a screenplay as well-written as Sam Hunter’s and Darren Aronofsky directing this—which was really a departure from the types of material I’ve seen him create before—clearly, we were all keen to tell this story with as much dignity and respect as we possibly could.
“I promise you, I would tell you if I did,” he said. “It’s always whatever I’m doing is my favorite thing.” Aronofsky, who enveloped Sink in an enormous hug as soon as he saw her, sang the actress’s praises farther down the carpet. “She’s working at a speed so much quicker than everyone else on the planet,” the director, who wore a nubby maroon Gabriela Hearst suit for the event, said. “Her brain is firing so fast. And if you watch the movie several times, you will constantly see new stuff that she’s done.
Fraser wasn’t the only one whose family made an appearance. Aronofsky’s son, who had just come from school and was still wearing his backpack, attended the screening with friends. Chosen family was also in attendance: theactress Ellen Burstyn took photos with Aronofsky—a reunion 22 years in the making.
