The award-winning actor took up the shears at Huntsman, cutting the suit his character wears for most of the film.
In the film Rylance plays Leonard, a Savile Row-trained English tailor who’s made a brisk business selling suits to Chicago gangsters. Our mild-mannered protagonist has tried his best to avoid gangland intrigue, only to see his workshop become the setting of a tense standoff. In order for Rylance to convincingly portray a tailor with decades of experience, both he and director Graham Moore felt that the actor should train with Huntsman.
By the fourth day, Rylance was tasked with cutting the suit his character would wear for the majority of the film. Though extra fabric was set aside in case of a slip-up, the veteran actor-turned-tailor managed to cut the jacket and trousers perfectly in one go. The Huntsman team largely took it from there, with some assistance from Rylance, who continued to visit the shop to witness the process from start to finish.
