Actors Painful Prosthetics In Pirates Of The Caribbean

The Pirates of the Caribbean films are some of the most visually striking movies of recent years. The costume design, makeup, and practical effects used on actors helped sell the 1700’s pirate infested landscape. However, achieving this look isn’t as fun as it may sound. A multitude of actors, from the main cast to extras, had to go through tedious and gruelling processes to transform into the desired look of a character. To achieve such detailed looks, the makeup and prosthetic process can take several hours of work everyday. This isn’t the most comfortable process, and many actors have expressed grief over this. And removing that makeup is no easy task either. Which actors experienced the most pain and discomfort when in full makeup and costuming for their character? Who had to wear painful prosthetics that left them with undesirable skin side effects?
When you have films that are so large scale and big budget, you need the best makeup effects around. Creating Captain Jack Sparrow, Davy Jones, Elizabeth Swan, Will Turner, Hector Barbossa, and the rest of the iconic cast takes more than just your average makeup. It may not have been an easy or pretty process transforming into these characters, but the end result is more than worth it. If we see more Pirates films in the future, we wonder how they will continue to improve on the already impressive visual looks their characters have. What actor do you think had it the worst getting into their makeup and costume?

I really hate when someone post a Fake Thumbnail on their videos. It was all a CG Character.
-
"Jack Sparrow had special contact lenses that were actually sun glasses." Is this mass produced? why is this not mass produced!? I want some!
-
Jack Davenport did get a grittier, grimier pirate look later on in the franchise, so I guess that made him happier. Also Norrington is one of the most underrated characters in the Pirates movies.
-
This is one of the few reasons why pirates of caribbean franchise is loved by so many.
-
Barbossa is a character rivaling that of Sparrow. Magnificent acting from Geoffrey Rush! And congrats to casting!
-
At least norrington doesn’t look like “an ice cream” in Dead Man’s Chest.
-
I do have quite the Pirates of the Caribbean DVD collection.
-
Bill Nighy may have felt left out in filming, but by God does he have one of the best characters in the final products Narrator took the words right out of my mouth. Guess I should've let the chapter play out.
-
The one with corsets should not have happened, real corsets just make your own bodyshape more prominent, theyre not supposed to hurt and work like a bra. If it does hurt its either not properly made or you tightened it too much
-
Omg actors had lot of struggling and wearing prosthetics is sooo difficult for me but I can't believe for the actors shout out to the actors and I love pirates of the Caribbean!!! And that prosthetics are really hurtful😔😔
-
The risks all these guys took to give us the best pirate show in history is so generous and wonderful I absolutely and positively love all the actors and actresses ❤️😌
-
Even with all the effort that went into the movies, they could have at least given Kira a proper corset that fit properly. Corsets are meant to be form fitting, supportive and comfortable. *sigh...
-
After watching this probably going to watch all those movies again
-
Hats off to the makers and costume designers of this legendary movie 🤘🤘🤘
-
They just did a great job. Just to make us entertained. Saute for your awesome work 💖
-
I really thought Davey Jones was an actor wearing prosthetics and thought only the tentacles were CGI because they would move in a way that couldn’t be accomplished through practical effects. Maybe these days, but then? Maybe with wires, but even then they would have to erased with CGI.
-
Really being an actor/actress means that you are willing to go through things like this
-
8:25 i like james norinton he uses my 2 favorit costume in the mulvie, the first that i most like is the red coats
-
I kinda guessed that movie would had been hurtful
-
