Actor Yoo Ji-tae revealed the process of interpreting the character of "The Man Who Lives with the King."
At a cafe in Samcheong-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul on the 29th, I met with actor Yoo Ji-tae of the movie "The Man Who Lives with the King" (director Jang Hang-jun) and talked about various things.
"The Man Who Lives with the King" is a movie about Cheongryeongpo in 1457, a chief who claimed to be exiled for the revival of the village, and a young predecessor who was expelled from the throne and exiled.
Yoo Ji-tae played the role of Han Myeong-hoe, the most powerful man of his time. Director Jang Hang-joon recreated the image of Han Myeong-hoe with a different approach from the existing mass media, adding Yoo Ji-tae's in-depth character analysis.
On this day, Yoo Ji-tae said, "I've played quite a lot of villains in movies, but they're all different. Of course, there is a real person in this Han Myeong-hoe, but I thought I should make sure that the level of emotion is well felt in the "Man Who Lives with the King," he said. "Of course, there is Suyangdaegun, but looking back on his life, he thought he was the one who wanted to become a king."
He continued, "I wondered if it would have approached the general public with a kind feeling. I thought that the character would want to be treated and recognized by the king. So I thought justice was a living figure, even if it was charismatic, confident, and false beliefs. That's why I thought, 'These things should be sacrificed.' "We designed each scene to feel the layer of emotion," he explained.
Yoo Ji-tae said he was satisfied with another interpretation, and also told about external changes. "I pulled my eyes a little bit and taped them," he said. I'm originally a little droopy, a good person," he said with a smile.
"I had already gained weight during 'Vigilante,' which was filmed before 'The Man Who Lives With the King,'" he said. Earlier, Yoo Ji-tae said he gained more than 100kg in two to three months from 84 to 85kg to shoot Disney+ "Vigilante." He said, "(Director Jang Hang-joon) At first, you asked for a smaller size than now, but I thought this was okay. If the body is smaller, I think there will be an overlap with Geumseongdaegun (Lee Joon-hyuk)," he said. "It is about 5kg more than now, but it seems to have looked bigger on the screen because of the pressure from the official uniform." He said, "He made my beard rough and tough, and I think it was thanks to the staff."
