odd humor

“The approach that Keays-Byrne took when portraying the Immortan made a huge impression on those playing his acolytes, even before filming started. Nicholas Hoult, who portrays Nux, says, “Hugh was also referred to on this set as ‘Daddy.’ He went round for the first build-up of pre-production putting big posters everywhere. He even got some of them in places where you wouldn’t expect it, like the top of the stunt room gym… there would be posters of his face, saying, ‘Daddy loves you.’ It was like all of us War Boys were his strange family and kids. And we completely worship him. Hugh’s a fantastic actor to work with. I understand why those kids growing up here would believe every word he said and want to die for him.”
