Method acting is something that has separated all-time greats from others since the dawn of this industry. This technique has helped celebrities over the years going beyond the portrayal of a character to literally embody them. But this supremacy comes with enormous challenges because an actor needs to immerse their mind, body, and spirit in the process. However, with time, the conception of this legendary style is changing. Despite its success for modern actors like Andrew Garfield and Ryan Gosling, people do not consider it important. And it appears Adam Brody also joined the like of these.

Adam Brody came to prominence with his role in the teen drama The O.C. A few years back, he took the attention of viewers around the globe with his leading role in StartUp. Now he has starred in the thriller film River Wild which got a worldwide release on August 1. To promote his new project, the actor sat down with Variety while talking about his acting journey.

During the conversation, the 43-year-old also shared his insight on method acting. “It sounds fu*king boring more than anything to me,” Brody told the outlet. He did not feel comfortable doing this technique, which is tedious and time-consuming. The California native does appreciate people who do it, but it certainly is not his cup of tea.

According to him, turning back to himself in the blink of an eye sounds more convenient for him rather than forgetting himself in the process of becoming a character. Well, this budding star might not comprehend the idea of method acting, but the world has seen how it worked wonders for Ryan Gosling in his film Barbie.

Ryan Gosling channeled his young self for Barbie 

Greta Gerwig’s Barbie has become the newest phenomenon of pop culture since it arrived in theatres. Though the hype surrounded people for months, the movie proved to be a true blockbuster. Fans have been endlessly praising the actor for his role and Ken-ergy has sent shockwaves through the internet. But all this happened only because Gosling used ‘method acting’ to portray his character.

The actor has stated in many interviews that he preferred this method as if someone were trying to find their way out of an escape room. The 42-year-old added that he went back to his young self to take inspiration and learn more about this character.
