Dancing Winstone Felt Silly In Animation Wet Suit....
Ray Winston - British tough guy Ray WinstonE felt ridiculous playing ancient hero Beowulf in the animated adaptation of the epic poem because his day started with a silly jig while he was dressed in "a wet suit".The Sexy Beast star loved the fact that his animated likeness was a strapping, toned Viking, but hated having to get into character.Every day, computer experts had to turn Winstone into a three-dimensional, animated character by transferring nodules attached to a black one-piece suit into a digital image.Winstone explains, "I'm standing there in this wet suit with this crash helmet thing on and you do feel naked. You really do feel vulnerable."I had to do a 'T' pose and lift my leg up and do a little dance before every take so the computer gets you, and I felt really stupid. I'm a 50 year-old man".But his wife loved the transformation because it reminded her of Winstone when he was a toned boxer.He adds, "My character has an eight pack stomach and my wife loves it. She pulled out a picture of me when I was 18 when I was boxing. I didn't look that good even then".
