Get ready for a rollercoaster of hilarity as Viola Davis spills the beans on her jaw-dropping look in The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes!
In this epic prequel, Viola takes on the role of Dr. Volumnia Gaul, the mastermind Gamemaker of Panem. And let me tell you, transforming into the brains behind the Games is no walk in the Capitol!
Appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the 58-year-old Oscar-winning sensation spilled the tea on the trials and tribulations of becoming Dr. Gaul.
Hold onto your mockingjay feathers, because the makeup ordeal was no joke. Viola revealed, “The makeup took a whopping 4 hours to put on, and then it took maybe 45 minutes to peel it off.” Four hours to become a Gamemaker? That’s almost as long as waiting for a new season of your favorite show!
But the real star of this cosmic comedy is the prosthetic nose that gave Viola a run for her Capitol coins. She spilled the deets, exclaiming, “The hardest part to take off was the nose. I mean, it was so stubborn that the makeup artist had to channel their inner Hercules, plant their feet firmly, and yank it off. It was like trying to remove an ancient artifact from a treasure chest. You have no idea!”
Cue the laughter from the audience because, as Viola described it, “It was like plastic coming off. By that point, we were all in stitches. It was a nose-tingling experience, let me tell you!”
Viola Davis, not just a Gamemaker extraordinaire, but also a master of turning makeup removal into a sidesplitting saga. May the odds be ever in her favor for surviving the nose-pulling shenanigans of Panem’s beauty secrets!
