Rory McCann As The Hound
From first glance, it’s obvious that the makeup team on Game of Thrones had to put in some serious work on Rory McCann’s face every day of shooting. They did a really good job of making him look as ugly as possible, and you’d never guess what he looks like in real life.
His half-burned prosthetic face takes two hours to put on and a half an hour to get off. McCann noted that the prosthetic would fill up with sweat and would leak every time that he smiled. He’s one of the main characters in the show that actually had to consistently wear such a detailed prosthetic since day one of shooting.
Turning A Woman Into A Bug
Pom Klementieff joined Guardians of the Galaxy in the sequel as Mantis, the insect-humanoid alien. The actress told Metro that she wore prosthetics at the beginning of her forehead, but the rest was all CGI. Hence, she didn’t spend as much time in the makeup chair as other actresses.
According to Klementieff, the makeup artists tested several different looks for Mantis’s design. “We tried different wigs; at some point, the makeup artists drew veins on my face…I looked really crazy. And then we decided to go for something a little more human.”
