Bill Skarsgard Ate Steak Tartare, Raw Eggs and No Sugar to Train for ‘The Crow’: ‘He’s a Machine of Destruction’


Bill Skarsgard ate plenty of steak tartare, raw eggs and protein to train for 'The Crow.'

He shot the indie action film “Boy Kills World,” in which he stars as a brutal, mute fighter who’s got some serious John Wick-style moves, right before “The Crow,” so he was already packing on a lot of muscle. Skarsgard plays Eric Draven, aka the supernatural antihero The Crow, in Lionsgate’s reboot of the cult classic 1994 movie, which starred the late Brandon Lee. When he’s on, he’s a real machine of destruction, but also he played these incredible moments of softness and empathy, which really just give the action sequences a lot more of an emotional connection, which is why I think people are really responding to them.
