'Narcos' Wagner Moura On His Role As Pablo Escobar | Los Angeles Times

Wagner Moura of 'Narcos' put on 40 pounds to play Pablo Escobar. Shedding the weight was part of purging the character.

Wagner is a good actor. However, from a native Spanish speaker's point of view, Wagner was not the best actor to play Escobar: there were some scenes in which he struggled pronouncing the lines he had to say so you could see him completely disconnected from the character, I mean, there were a few moments in which you could clearly see that Wagner was more worried about trying to pronounce his sentences properly rather than portraying Escobar's emotions, in those cases, it was really hard to believe that you were seeing Pablo Escobar as his lines sounded very recited. Of course, this did not happen that much, however, but there were some very emblematic scenes in which that situation was quite evident.

@@ninab6150 it must be somewhat part of the one watching it, the energy that he emanates in that role, so he can understand what kind of tension he is producing in certin moments of acting the part... But man o man, did he or did he not made something to behold in that moments, just to admire the whole act and pinacle of his aggresion with sogisticated manner, concise... Also Neto when he bursted at tbe croud after matias got killed But the whole movie..... Outstanding 👏 P. S. Did you know the fact, special ops guy who prepared him for this role was hired by movie production . . . And he said he did everything to wake up the brutality in Wagner, even physically, but he thought that it is not real thing yet! So one day they closed them self in room and this guy went full on abuse as he could in way that he even punched him but stil Wagner was controled, and the the gay was (acting) treated to Wagners family in midle of it all and Wagner went balistic :) Thats when this man told him... You'r ready ⚡🙏💪

@@dorijandorijan7220 thank you for that extra fun fact. I forgot writing my comment, so for a moment I thought you were referring to Narcos. I wanted to tell you "Wth have you seen Tropa de elite?" but then I double checked and realised you were actually talking about it. His character was so inhumane and humane at the same time it's crazy. I was scared but also felt sorry for him, and my favorite scenes must be those evoking such emotions: training/mission scenes and panic attacks/dead teen's (lookout) mother conversation .. Or both in one: when he takes out his anger at his wife.

[@faabihakhan]

He acted so well, I was actually feeling pity and sad for him towards the end!

[@PatrickFisker]

Not giving an emmy for this kind of acting is madness.

Wagner was phenomenal as Pablo the realism and savagery and even the softer side he brought to the character could not have been done by anyone else.

[@johnedwards7899]

Thank you L. A. Times for this great interview. What an interesting guy Wagner is, as well as a great actor. The interview also gives us a look at the South Americans, and their movie industrustries in the different countries. A really good interview.👍😎

I can't believe I just found this interview today, like 2 years ago!

[@tonymontana897]

This guy was The Perfect Pablo Escobar. He captured the essence of the man unlike any other. I binge watched each season and when It was over I still wanted more. Wow, What an actor. Thanks for the best Narcos series.

[@ExplodingBumfluff]

Idk who this actor is but his performance as Pablo was one of the most gripping and captivating performances I've ever seen from an actor and literally made the show. From his voice, facial expressions, mannerisms, he nailed everything

[@subhashishbagchi3191]

PABLI ESCOBAR become so popular in India beacuse of this Guy. This guy really deserves more than what he get. The top international series which are very popular in India are Narcos, Stranger things and money heist

Wtf his English is so good 😂. In narcos he never speaks a single sentence in English. Well that’s maybe because the real pablo escobar couldn’t.

Yah I agree with the anchor ...he created an atmosphere of empathy for Escobar.

[@Ethan-gz5qg]

I like how he’s an honest actor like he doesn’t do everything for media or attention, he just rambles about what he wants to share rather than what the media wants to hear
