Willem Dafoe: ‘Challenging Movies’ Don’t Do Well on Streaming Because ‘People Go Home’ and Say ‘Let’s Watch Something Stupid Tonight’
Willem Dafoe says people like watching stupid things on streaming, not the challenging films he's known for.
Dafoe was recently honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and he’s earning Oscar buzz yet again for his supporting role in Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Poor Things.” “There’s a tendency, particularly when people get older, that they refine their impulses and like to work a certain way and don’t like to jump around,” Dafoe told Variety about his knack for bouncing around dramas and often taking risks in his career.“It’s like planting seeds in different places. Dafoe will be back on screen later this year with roles in Tim Burton’s “Beetlejuice 2” and Robert Eggers’ “Nosferatu,” his latest collaboration with the director after “The Lighthouse” and “The Northman.”
