USPA NEWS - Since Bullhead, for which he packed 60 pounds of muscle onto his 6-foot-2-inch frame, Schoenaerts has been hailed as the Belgian Brando. “Maybe in some roles I have a physical presence and a certain brooding energy that people might interpret as macho, but I never want to emphasize that,“ he says...
Since Bullhead, for which he packed 60 pounds of muscle onto his 6-foot-2-inch frame, Schoenaerts has been hailed as the Belgian Brando. “Maybe in some roles I have a physical presence and a certain brooding energy that people might interpret as macho, but I never want to emphasize that,“ he says. “The way I approach everything I do always comes down to one thing, which is love. And I don´t mean it in the flower-power type of way. I mean that, even if you look at The Drop, my character is insane, but it´s the loss of love that drives him that way.“
Matthias Schoenaerts said that the ways he perfected his English came by watching American movies.

Synospsis of 'A bigger splash' :
Rock legend Marianne Lane is recuperating on the volcanic island of Pantelleria with her partner Paul when iconoclast record producer and old flame Harry unexpectedly arrives with his daughter Penelope and interrupts their holiday, bringing with him an A-bomb blast of delirious nostalgia from which there can be no rescue. A Bigger Splash is a sensuous portrait of laughter, desire, and rock and roll detonating into violence under the Mediterranean sun.
