The Wachowskis' Jupiter Ascending has since found something of an audience, but the film was not exactly well received upon its release in 2015. Among its many problems were a bizarre acting choice from Academy Award-winning performer Eddie Redmayne. Now, the actor has finally admitted that he wasn't so great in the film.
In an interview with GQ, Redmayne opened up about the much-maligned role, which won him a 2016 Razzie award for Worst Supporting Actor.
"My character had had his larynx ripped out by this wolf man, and so I made the slightly bold choice — which I thought was right — of talking like this," Redmayne said. "I won a prize for it for the worst performance of the year.... So, yeah, it was a pretty bad performance by all accounts."
