HuffPost
Butler, who portrays the menacing Feyd-Rautha in the film, said the movie stars served as “more general inspiration” for his performance.
Austin Butler named Gary Oldman and Heath Ledger as the two actors who inspired him for his role as Feyd-Rautha in Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune: Part Two.”
“I’ve always been inspired by Gary Oldman in many of his roles. ‘Léon: The Professional,’ or ‘True Romance,’ or ‘The Fifth Element,’” Butler said in an interview with NME.
“And you know, we’ve talked about Heath Ledger a lot, the sense of play that he had. And like I say, it’s not the specific things, but it’s more general inspiration.”
The actor recently revealed to Jimmy Fallon that he met Sting –– who portrayed Feyd-Rautha in David Lynch’s 1984 “Dune” adaptation –– at the New York City premiere for “Dune: Part Two” last month.
“It was so surreal. My mind was blown. He’s the best,” he said.
