Quentin Tarantino known as Paul Dano the worst actor round ― and that’s the well mannered model.
The “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” writer-director skewered Dano, a Golden Globe and two-time Emmy nominee, within the form of critique you may mutter to buddies at a bar. However on Bret Easton Ellis’s current podcast, it got here off as unnecessarily harsh.
The insults flew with Tarantino’s rating of Paul Thomas Anderson’s “There Will Be Blood,” a 2007 oil drama starring Daniel Day-Lewis and Dano, as No. 5 on his greatest motion pictures record of the twenty first century. The “Pulp Fiction” auteur famous (per Deadline), nonetheless, that if might have been first or second “if it didn’t have a big, giant flaw in it … and the flaw is Paul Dano.”
“[Dano] is weak sauce, man. He is the weak sister. [Daniel Day-Lewis] is eating him [alive]. Austin Butler would have been wonderful in that role. [Dano’s] just such a weak, weak, uninteresting guy,” Tarantino stated, per Selection. “Daniel Day-Lewis shows that he doesn’t need a strong foil. The movie needs it. He doesn’t need anything. It’s supposed to be a two-hander and it’s not! … you put him with the the weakest fucking actor in SAG? The limpest dick in the world?”

Ellis defended Dano’s efficiency as twins within the movie, in accordance with Selection. Tarantino dug in additional. “I am not saying he is giving a terrible performance, I am saying he’s giving a non-entity performance … I don’t care for him,” he stated.
The movie earned Day-Lewis a Greatest Actor Oscar and apparently lifetime scorn for Dano from Tarantino.
