Leonardo DiCaprio Praises Sean Penn
Speaking to Pinkvilla, the Oscar-winning actor shared a few details about Sean’s role in the film, saying, “Sean Penn plays Lockjaw, an arch villain who is devious and performs horrible acts. However, it is not as simple as it appears, as the actor explains, “But he brought a humanity to it, as well as an extraordinary and surprising insecurity. Sean was able to portray this deep sense of isolation as a threat to his manhood.”
He added, “In this sense, the character is far more complex than that of the typical arch villain. There are so many amazing details in his performance. I almost felt sorry for the character in a lot of ways.”
