I met this guy several times in his local pub in Croydon, South London. Well done on this movie Adam - it looks amazing. Cant wait to see it and congratulate yiu in person down The Green Dragon.
Thats not a mask !!!! Thats really his face . His name is Adam Pearson he's a British actor, presenter and campaigner. He appeared in the 2013 film Under the Skin. He has neurofibromatosis
I was just going to say, he looks exactly like the guy Scarlett Johannson picked up in that movie. Along with the beach scene, the fact that it looked like he was gonna escape, only to be killed by the motorcycle man, was one of the saddest parts of the movie...
A24 puts out great films most of the time. LOVE that they’re not afraid to take risks with original material and unknown directors. Always curious about their films.
Yup. He's a real dude. However I think he is British and this is a fictional film. It's either a face cast of his being used with his permission? I'm not sure. But the dude is real. And actually funny
His name is Adam Pearson , born 1985 in the UK.. he starred along side Scarlett Johansson in the film “Under the Skin” ( 2013 ).. he also was in the film “DRIB” ( 2017 ) And yes.. that’s his real face.
I saw a doc on him and his twin brother years ago and Adam is insanely grounded and funny he doesn’t apologize or lives with a chip on his shoulder! He’s Adam and that’s it!
When it comes to judging a movie from a two minute trailer I don't care who directed or wrote it if it seems like it's going to be good or bad I'm going to speak my mind with no cares who's feelings get hurt. But from what I've seen this will probably be Sebastian Stan's greatest role and may best leading role. This film is going to be one of those must see movies.
How, exactly? Just because he has Neurofibromitosis? The story of Merrick is VASTLY different than the story presented here. Also, his name was JOSEPH MERRICK, and as a fellow human, one would think you’d realize the poor guy didn’t enjoy being called the “elephant man.” JFC.
@@lesyeuxsansvisage1157 '"The Elephant Man," was said in quotation marks meaning the film not the person Joseph Merrick so the offence you took was misguided.
Anybody who thinks that the guy with the disfigured face has the “better life” than the guy who got his face fixed, has never seen the “Tree Man” documentary. Facts.
crazy that identical twins could look so different. Mad respect to Adam for pursuing a film career and proving to be a fine actor and seems to be a really awesome human being too
“All unhappiness in life comes from not accepting what is.” Now, outside of ending a sentence with a verb, that’s pretty true I think. It’s pretty profound actually.
I couldn't understand the concept for the film from the trailer, here's Wikipedia: "After undergoing surgery for a new start in life, Edward, a man with neurofibromatosis, becomes fixated on another man playing him in a stage production based on Edward's former life."
What I get from.this that our perception of self constitutes the make or break factors.u feel you are good looking ,yet maybe ur jaw is slightly bent but confidence keeps you.u feel u r ugly but ur jaw is straighter than most-hence some think that girl is a man.
There was a famous story about a young succesful guy who destroyed his own face with a carbine while trying to commit suicide... After getting his ass saved by medical care he gets some kind of plastic surgery and then fall in love with one of his nurses... I still dont get it... Oo!
Legit thought this was an Elephant Man ripoff until I recognized Adam Pearson from Under The Skin. I mean it's still very Elephant Man, but I appreciate that they used someone with an actual facial condition.
@@sergiosuarez4301 It led me to going through puberty very early and i needed all sorts of shots and medication. Lived for years with some on my face but got them removed now
This would have scared the crap out of me as a child, as Mask did! I'd have reoccurring nightmares about my brother's faces being all deformed. Weird shit.

This is why I come to the comment section!
Sebastian Stan - much respect for an actor who wants to be an 'actor' (and not just an action hero).
i couldn't said it better myself
The Seb is great at pulling off any role that is given to him. I hope one day he will take home an Oscar.
Huh? He's never been an action hero though outside of the Captain America films.
What’s wrong with being an action hero?

Has his condition worsened?
Oh wow I remember him! That was an unsettling film
A24 puts out great films most of the time. LOVE that they’re not afraid to take risks with original material and unknown directors. Always curious about their films.
they make arthouse films for hipsters. this is another one of their pathetic attempts to appeal to inclusion
Reminds of The Elephant Man, a 1980 film with Johnny Hurt and Anthony Hopkins. Great movie!
I'm not an animal!
Agree the elephant man is a true classic
Came to say the same, great one - can't wait to check out this one also
Nice to see our Adam in a film. He’s been on television in the UK quite a bit. Nice bloke.
Adam is a really funny guy, got drunk with him in Croydon a while back. Nice bloke
In case anybody's wondering I think this is a real person with a real condition who was also in a movie with Scarlett Johanson I could be wrong.
Yup. He's a real dude. However I think he is British and this is a fictional film. It's either a face cast of his being used with his permission? I'm not sure. But the dude is real. And actually funny
'Under The Skin'. It's a good movie.
His name is Adam Pearson , born 1985 in the UK.. he starred along side Scarlett Johansson in the film “Under the Skin” ( 2013 ).. he also was in the film “DRIB” ( 2017 )
And yes.. that’s his real face.
Damn that's so sad!😢
He should do a remake of The Elephant Man
Even the trailer is refreshing
He was wonderful in Under The Skin.
Absolutely ❤
This reminds me of the 1980s movie Johnny Handsome starring Mickey Rourke.
I LOVE that this man is getting more roles! He’s a great actor!
If you don't know the Main actor is Adam Pearson and that is his real face.
Really?
I saw a doc on him and his twin brother years ago and Adam is insanely grounded and funny he doesn’t apologize or lives with a chip on his shoulder! He’s Adam and that’s it!

reminding me of "The Elephant Man," but in a modern setting

that first 10 seconds, i was thinking "oh, an 'Elephant Man' remake".....
but that second half blew me away. i'm gonna have to check this movie out.
Adam Pearson has an identical twin brother, who does not have that condition. Adam, is one of life's good people.
crazy that identical twins could look so different. Mad respect to Adam for pursuing a film career and proving to be a fine actor and seems to be a really awesome human being too
I have a friend who worked on the make up for this movie. So effin cool to see it coming out now.
This reminds me of Mickey Rourke in the 1970s movie called Johnny Hamdsome...same plot...
80’s!
I just love Sebastian Stan my favorite movie from him so far is Fresh on Hulu he proved what a great actor he is in that movie 🎥 😃👍
Whoa! I knew I recognized him, Adam Pearson! I'd say NF1 rocks, but it sucks. But I'm glad to see he has always embraced it!
Spoiler alert, this guy is actually a decent actor, great documentary maker and top guy. I'm all for this movie. Good work A24
I don't care about some body looks , it's their personality that counts x
i liked this the first time too when it was a twilight zone episode called "eye of the beholder"
If they only knew the true meaning of this statement…
The winter soldier one of the coolest characters in the marvel universe!
this looks super award winning
Adam Pearson also made a couple of wonderful documentaries where he travels around, i believe theyre free on youtube
“All unhappiness in life comes from not accepting what is.” Now, outside of ending a sentence with a verb, that’s pretty true I think. It’s pretty profound actually.
Sorry, but 'think' is a verb.
"What is" is a noun clause. Sigh. Even if it weren't, sentences often end in verbs (including yours).
I couldn't understand the concept for the film from the trailer, here's Wikipedia: "After undergoing surgery for a new start in life, Edward, a man with neurofibromatosis, becomes fixated on another man playing him in a stage production based on Edward's former life."
I can't wait. I loved "Chained for Life" by this team.
He is a real man with a real condition and a big ❤
carl pilkington’s new favorite movie
I was convinced that was Scoot McNairy!
Probably get an Oscar just for a sympathy vote which will be a shame because he's always going to have that on his mind rather than performance rating
Delighted for Adam. Funny guy
I am pretty sure he was in the movie Under the Skin with Scarlett Johansson. One of the best Sci Fi movies in the last 20 years.
One' person hurting Vera level... abay madurakali thayea
Oh, an A24 film? Never mind.
I hope this does very well
If you like this watch the original Elephant Man film from 1980 with Antony Hopkins and John Hurt
That’s the real person Adam Pearson
Totally saw Vince Vaughn in the one shot...for some reason.
This guy looks so different compared to what he looked like in Under The Skin.
This looks very interesting… hope it’s good
The guy from "Under the Skin" with Scarlett Johansson.
wow, I love the concept, looks great!
Jeez Pete Davidson is really looking rough
His nick name is Tapir
Thank you, I needed that laugh…😅
Reminds me of the elephant man
He works for Channel 4 doesn’t he. Was in the undateables s1.
What I get from.this that our perception of self constitutes the make or break factors.u feel you are good looking ,yet maybe ur jaw is slightly bent but confidence keeps you.u feel u r ugly but ur jaw is straighter than most-hence some think that girl is a man.
He looks like Mark Hamill in The Empire Strikes Back.

2014 Bucky barnes 😮
There was a famous story about a young succesful guy who destroyed his own face with a carbine while trying to commit suicide... After getting his ass saved by medical care he gets some kind of plastic surgery and then fall in love with one of his nurses... I still dont get it... Oo!
i LOVE A24...
A Rob Schneider movie.

👍👍🎥
so.. a new version of Elephant Man ?
I’m a little confused but it looks great !
Neurofibromatosis maybe? I have too but a very low form
Same here! NF Type 1
@@sergiosuarez4301 It led me to going through puberty very early and i needed all sorts of shots and medication. Lived for years with some on my face but got them removed now
I think he's from croydon?? I'm seen him around
So it's a movie about how everyone is crazy, seen it already
Hollywood loves remakes, it’s time to remake the elephant man
This would have scared the crap out of me as a child, as Mask did! I'd have reoccurring nightmares about my brother's faces being all deformed. Weird shit.
U ever hit on a trailer you wish u hadn’t……..
THE MASK 2?
Ah.. I remember this dude from Under the Skin
This looks like a South Park like attempt to make a South Park like point, but without the South Park humor. No thank you
Im in
Reminiscent of Robert Melvin.
this life is horrible
I don’t think I can stand it for much longer
Never forget; about, karma.🔄
After about 6 shots of Tequila this is about what i look like!! All kidding aside, movie looks good.!
Thumbs up if you clicked just so you would stop looking at it.
Fight Club? You know?
What is this even about?
Kali ini benda ni ye? Ok.
😮
There
El hombre elefante
He looks hot LOL
We’ve seen this before. Nothing new
So this isn't a Zombie flick??
😵💫🙄
you can tell its a made up movie when a guy like that gets a kiss from a hot woman .😂😂😂 what a joke...in real life it would never ever happen
A Different Man? Sounds kinda sexist. 😅
No thanks.
Modern Elephant Man. Hollywood doesn't have an original thought anymore.
