We became good friends about three or four weeks before we started shooting.”He also shared, “We were hanging out and all of a sudden he said, ‘Listen, dog. I have to do this. I can’t talk. I’m going to give it my all. I’m not going to do this. I need your help. I need to be on your shoulder.'” I’m like, ‘Oh, yeah, whatever, man. Like, if that’s what you want to do, that’s what you want to do. ‘” He then commented that for the next two weeks, Bernthal remained committed to his cause and would completely avoid speaking, even in public.Holland laughed and explained that they were filming in Ireland at the time, and the actor continued his method acting even when he wasn’t on set. He added, “We all know Joe Bernthal. We all love Joe Bernthal. My man loves to talk. So we were sitting in a restaurant and he was writing about his food, these are regular restaurants in Ireland, and I had to say, ‘I feel sorry for my friend. He’s just a pretentious actor.’‘”
How Jon Bernthal stopped his method acting career
Holland then provided some insight into what made Bernthal stop his method acting process, sharing that it was an incident at a restaurant that forced the “Punisher” actor to quit his focused process. To provide more context, Holland said, “We were at a restaurant one day and he had salmon and he wrote, ‘Can you get some lemon for my salmon?'” So I said to the woman, “Excuse me, can I get some lemon for his salmon?” Maybe she heard me wrong or something. She came and brought this lemon and put it in his drink, put it in his water. And he immediately said, ‘Well, screw it. I’m talking again. “On the work front, Bernthal and Holland will appear together in the upcoming superhero movie Spider-Man: New Day, which will be released on July 31. This will be the Punisher’s first movie appearance since Bernthal joined the MCU and took over the role.
