VIDEO: Sir Ben Kingsley on Acting with Tā Moko

Sir Ben Kingsley spoke with HeyUGuysUK in London tonight about what it was like for him to act with Maori tā moko on his face.

I didn’t feel any conscious difference on my face and it’s not a tattoo on my arm that I can look at on my arm and sort of enjoy or have a rapport with but […] it changed the way the other actors looked at me and that was really interesting, how they were trying to decipher my face and wonder what it meant and how dangerous and threatening it was. It affected them more than it affected me. It’s good, it was great.
